The Team

This is a great opportunity to work for a top 20

As part of our close-knit team you would have the
opportunity to become a specialist in this fascinating area of law,
working on a uniquely varied and sometime high-profile caseload.
This is your opportunity to practice criminal defence in a truly
corporate environment!

Our lawyers provide national coverage for a blend of
corporate and insurer backed clients. You will be joining a team of
14 fee earners (11 solicitors) preparing and progressing cases from
their early investigative stages, through the enforcement process,
and ultimately, to conclusion before the Criminal Courts. Typical
cases include corporate manslaughter, health and safety prosecutions
and environmental crime and due to the high number of fatalities we
deal with you will also become proficient in representation before
the Coroners Court.

  Crime; or Motor Crime, however, candidates without this experience
