Our Criminal
Defence Services

Allegations of sexual offences are more emotive and personal than any other allegation. Old Bailey Solicitors have significant experience and have enjoyed notable successes defending those accused of sexual offences.

Offences of violence vary in their gravity. Our criminal defence lawyers have vast experience dealing with the full range of violent offences; from murder, manslaughter, kidnap and robbery to minor assaults.

Old Bailey Solicitors have considerable experience acting for individual and corporate clients facing allegations of fraud, money laundering, cheating the revenue, bribery, corruption and other financial offences.

Companies setting out to commit fraud are not the only ones at risk. HMRC’s net is cast wide enough to catch those merely connected with fraudulent activity. Direct involvement or actual knowledge of fraud is not always required.

From large drug importations to cases of personal possession, our criminal defence lawyers are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to represent those under arrest for drug-related offences.

The law surrounding road traffic offences is particularly complex, so obtaining expert legal advice at an early stage could be the difference that means you can avoid a driving ban, a heavy fine or even a prison sentence.

Offences under the Medicines Act 1968 include a broad range of crimes including the sale and distribution of unlicensed medicines. We advise, represent and defend clients being investigated and prosecuted by the MHRA.

Health and Safety prosecutions can result in reputational damage, heavy fines and even prison sentences.
