Crime

Our Team

Our large and well respected Team of Criminal Barristers includes members of all levels of seniority handling both Defence and Prosecution cases, and benefits from the leadership of some very gifted practitioners including three Silks.

Our Expertise

The Barristers have a hugely varied repertoire covering all types of criminal cases, and our capable junior barristers are often able to assist clients at the last minute when they are unable to cover a case themselves.

We cover the full range of offences for prosecution and defence (including private prosecutions by local authorities and similar governing bodies). Such offences include murder, sexual offences, drugs importation, money laundering, council tax fraud, housing benefit fraud, and other types of fraudulent offending, health and safety, prison law, trading standards, actions against the police and prison service and other regulatory offences.

At the forefront in this area, the Crime Team has been involved in a number of complex and high profile cases such as R v Hewitt, Tuttle & Others (Hull Care Home case); R v Sadiq, Majid, Karim & Others (large-scale Ravensthorpe violent disorder) and R v Castree (murder of Lesley Molseed, in relation to which Stefan Kiszko was wrongly convicted in 1976).
