Criminal Defence Solicitors are able to accept instructions on an agency basis from other firms across all areas of criminal law.

 

We have Advocates in the majority of London Magistrates and Crown Courts on a daily basis. Based in Central London we can be at most London Police Stations within 45 minutes.

 

We believe this will give your firm an efficient, professional way to provide your clients with experienced representation, particularly in the areas of Police Station Interview s and the Criminal Courts.

 

Police Stations

 

Based in Central London we are within a short distance from the majority of London Police Stations. We have staff available to cover Police Interviews on a 24hr basis and our telephone lines are manned 24 hours per day.

 

Criminal Courts

 

In addition to Higher Courts Advocates all our Solicitors are Duty Solicitor Qualified. We have both Barristers and Solicitors in our team.

 

We will provide you with same day reporting by telephone and a full written report within 24 hours of our attendance.

Agency instructions are undertaken for Legal Aid Agency work at the usual LAA rates (notification should be provided at the time of instruction. We can also agree fixed rates.

 

If you do not currently have a central London presence or you are short of resource on a particular day, then our agency services can help you.

 

Barristers

 

Our barristers are also able to be instructed by other firms in the same way that you could instruct a Barrister in a set of chambers. Our fees would like other Barristers be claimed on the AF1 at no charge to you.

 

We are located on the edge of Middle Temple opposite the High Court. Additionally as a solicitors firm we are set up to be able to book Prison Visits and undertake other ancillary work that Chambers would not ordinarily do at no extra charge.
