The earliest stages of an investigation often shape the outcome more than anything that follows. Whether it’s a police interview, a dawn raid, or regulatory questioning, early legal advice can protect your rights, shape the outcome—and in some cases, prevent charges altogether.
We act fast. We make sure the right procedures are followed, evidence is preserved, and you don’t say anything that could harm your defence. Early intervention isn’t just smart—it can be the difference between a quiet resolution and a very public crisis.
We focus on helping you navigate serious legal challenges with confidence. Whether you are facing an investigation, under pressure from regulators, or dealing with a potential crisis, we are here with clear advice and calm strategy—right when you need it most.
Criminal Defence and Police Investigations
Serious Criminal Allegations
We defend clients facing the most serious charges, including murder, violent crime, and organised criminal activity. These cases require experience, urgency, and strategic focus from the very start and we provide all three.
Police Interviews and Arrests
Whether you’ve been arrested or asked to attend a voluntary interview, we step in immediately to protect your rights, manage the process, and guide you through what comes next. Early advice can prevent mistakes that cost you later.
Serious Sexual Offences
Allegations of sexual misconduct—particularly in the workplace or professional settings—can be devastating. We handle these cases with absolute discretion, clear advice, and a strong focus on reputation as well as defence.
Cybercrime and Digital Offences
We advise individuals and businesses facing investigation or prosecution for cyber-related offences, including unauthorised access, data breaches, and misuse of digital systems. We provide clear advice, technical understanding, and strong defence in a fast-evolving legal landscape.
Youth crime
We represent young people and their families with care and clarity, helping them navigate the youth justice system with confidence and securing the best possible outcome in difficult circumstances.
Crisis Response and Investigations
Crisis Management and Dawn Raids
When a legal crisis arises—an arrest, a dawn raid, or urgent regulatory action—speed matters. We respond quickly, protect your rights and take control of the situation before it escalates. We’ll be by your side during interviews, searches, and inspections, making sure procedures are followed and your position is protected from the outset
Corporate Investigations
If you’re dealing with internal misconduct or external scrutiny, we can help manage and handle often sensitive issues in a discrete way to ensure you and your business can continue to function, guarding your reputation at all times.
Director Liability
As a company director, your decisions carry personal risk. We defend directors facing allegations of negligence, breach of statutory duties, regulatory compliance matters, corporate manslaughter and health and safety cases.
Financial and Regulatory Defence
White Collar and Financial Crime
We represent clients accused of serious financial offences, including fraud, money laundering and complex matters, which invariably require experts in a variety of fields to ensure we can protect both you, your family and commercial reputation.
Tax Investigations and Serious Fraud
HMRC investigations can be intrusive and disruptive, posing reputational risks for you and your business. We have extensive experience in resolving issues before they reach court, offering considerable value for our clients, in terms of cost, time and reputational issues.
Bribery, Corruption and Money Laundering
If you’re facing accusations under anti-bribery or money laundering laws, we provide expert legal defence and strategic guidance to protect you from criminal, regulatory and reputational damage.
Confiscation and Proceeds of Crime
If someone is accused of benefiting from the proceeds of criminal activity, it’s not uncommon for the authority to apply for an order preventing them from having access to both their personal and business accounts before court proceedings begin. We can help ensure your interests are properly protected, and at the conclusion of the case we have extensive experience in dealing with Proceeds of Crime issues.
Defence for Regulated Professionals
We represent doctors, dentists, pharmacists, and other professionals facing regulatory investigations or disciplinary action. Whether the issue involves patient care, conduct, or compliance, we act fast to protect your registration, reputation, and career.
Regulatory Risk and Compliance
Regulatory Investigations
Regulatory bodies can launch sudden, wide-ranging investigations. We support individuals and organisations under scrutiny, helping them respond effectively and stay compliant.
Environmental Breaches
Environmental law breaches can bring significant fines and public scrutiny. We act quickly to help you respond to investigations and avoid long-term consequences.
Compliance and Risk Management
We work with companies to identify and fix compliance gaps—before regulators or whistleblowers do. From policy reviews to proactive risk audits, we help keep your business protected and legally sound.
Whistleblowing
We advise employers on how to respond to whistleblowing claims fairly and legally—protecting your organisation while staying aligned with best practice and legal standards.
Artificial Intelligence Regulation
AI regulation is evolving fast—and the legal risks are growing just as quickly. We can help advise you on regulation requirements and the adoption of best practice in this developing area, with a focus on ethical and practical legal considerations.
Reputation and Alternative Dispute Resolution
Reputation Management
Allegations—even unfounded ones—can have lasting effects. We act swiftly to protect your reputation, manage media risks, and reduce public exposure, particularly in cases involving high-profile charges or corporate accountability.
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
Not every case needs to go to court. We use mediation and arbitration to help clients resolve disputes quickly and quietly—saving time, stress, and money.
