CRIME


A select group of members of Chambers practice in the field of Criminal Law, many exclusively. Most Members of Chambers undertake both Defence and Prosecution work, acting from the Magistrates Courts through to the Crown Courts, the High Court and the Court of Appeal.

The work undertaken varies from the most serious crimes such as murder, rape and child abuse down to the simplest road traffic offences. Both publicly funded and private work is undertaken.

Our Members of Chambers are fully committed to providing the highest standards of client care, whether instructed for the Defence or Prosecution. 

Counsel are happy to hold conferences, either in Chambers or at Solicitors offices or at any other suitable venue, as well as giving oral or written advice as required. 

For present purposes and due to COVID, a conference would be carried out remotely and we can cater to a wide range of apps to suit most preferences, including Teams, Zoom or Skype

Defence solicitors or Prosecuting authorities who wish to discuss choice of Counsel, the availability of that counsel of choice or levels of fees in privately funded matters may contact any one of the clerking team who will be very happy to discuss and advise upon the most suitable options.

For those clients who are paying fees privately through an instructing solicitor and for those who wish to instruct a barrister under the Direct Public Access scheme, for initial advice on whether we can help, please speak to Danny or Barry on 0207 978 8482 or email info@claphamlawchambers.co.uk
