Crime Solicitor

You may have heard me talk about this firm before, and for good reason.

This is a firm I’ve had a lot of success supporting with their growth this year, and it’s genuinely exciting to see how far the practice has come. They’ve built significant momentum across their Crime & Regulatory offering and continue to invest in the team as demand for their services grows.

This isn't simply a replacement hire or a firm filling a vacancy. There is genuine investment being made into the Crime & Regulatory team, creating exciting opportunities for ambitious criminal lawyers who want quality work, progression and the chance to be part of a growing specialist practice.

What's on offer?

The firm is currently looking for a Criminal Solicitor to join its growing team.

The practice covers General & Serious Crime, Professional Regulation & Discipline and Private Client, with a particularly strong and expanding reputation within the Crime & Regulatory market.

This is an opportunity to work on a varied and high-quality caseload, with genuine exposure to complex, high-profile and sensitive matters, representing clients from the police station stage through to Magistrates' and Crown Court proceedings.

The role will involve:

• Police station representation and participation in on-call rotas
• Managing your own criminal caseload
• Magistrates' and Crown Court advocacy
• Prison conferences and client meetings
• Preparing bail applications, defence case statements and key documentation
• Working closely with Counsel on complex and serious matters
• Advising clients across a broad range of general and serious crime matters

Who are they looking for?

The team is keen to speak with Solicitors who have:

• Strong criminal defence experience
• Police Station Accreditation
• Experience across Magistrates' and Crown Court matters
• Excellent advocacy and client care skills
• The ability to manage their own caseload independently
• A calm and confident approach when handling complex and high-pressure matters

Why consider this opportunity?

Having worked closely with this firm throughout the year, I've seen first-hand the growth taking place within the practice.

With offices in Central London, covering Croydon, Kingston, Wimbledon and Sutton police stations and courts, this could be an excellent move for a Criminal Solicitor looking to take the next step in their career.
