Who are we?
We are a leading set of barristers based in the heart of Birmingham. We provide advice and advocacy in a wide range of areas, although crime is our core area of practice.
As a specialist set, we have a large and experienced criminal team. We act in matters dealt with in the magistrates’ courts to the most serious, complex and high-profile cases.
Whilst we cover a wide range of work, we recognize that, from the perspective of the client, your case is the most important one. We consequently see nothing as routine or minor.
