Our criminal defence solicitors are proactive and fearless in protecting our clients’ interests. We consider ourselves to be at the forefront of criminal defence work, leaving no stone unturned often deploying groundbreaking legal, human rights and public interest arguments and scientific evidence on behalf of our clients. Our lawyers have over 30 years of experience in the field of Criminal defence.

Members of the Berris Law Criminal Law Team frequently defend in the most serious and high profile cases. We are experienced at managing and advising on the media publicity these cases often attract, and which, we know, can be one of the most distressing aspects of being prosecuted. Of course, we also act in cases where there is no publicity, but where the issues and potential consequences for our clients are equally serious, and in all our cases we are aware of the personal strain that can be involved.

We are used to facing the most formidable and best resourced prosecution agencies, including the SFO, FCA specialist police and Crown Prosecution Service teams. We have the experience and skills to match these prosecutors, and we believe that they respect and acknowledge Berris Law expertise when we represent any defendant in one of their prosecutions.
