Our legal services in Leeds

Criminal defence

With years of combined experience and expertise, our specialist criminal defence solicitors are able to meticulously prepare your defence and act for you in the police station, the Magistrates’ Court and the Crown Court where required.

Our criminal defence solicitors in Leeds provide strong representation for a wide range of matters, including but not limited to general crime, conspiracy offences, drugs offences and motoring offences.

Sexual offences and indecent images

Our team are able to provide a tailored service to anyone who is facing allegations of a sexual offence.

As one of the country’s leading firms representing individuals accused of sexual offences, our solicitors are well positioned to provide advice in relation to a wide range of matters, such as indecent images, grooming, historic sexual offences and rape.

Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) and confiscation

Where confiscation proceedings are brought following a conviction, the support of an expert in the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) will be essential for achieving the best possible result.

Our Leeds Proceeds of Crime Act solicitors can provide support on confiscation proceedings and various other associated matters, such as cash seizure and forfeiture proceedings, account forfeiture, restraint orders and civil enforcement.

Business defence

Failing to react quickly to regulatory or criminal investigations involving your business could leave you vulnerable to the prospect of heavy penalties and/or prosecution. No matter the surrounding circumstances, it is essential to understand your options and what approach you need to take.

Our business defence lawyers in Leeds can advise and represent your organisation on all manner of issues, from allegations of bribery and corruption, through to serious fraud, money laundering and environment agency investigations and prosecutions.

Fraud defence

Prosecutions brought under the Fraud Act 2006 can often prove extremely serious. A guilty verdict can result in serious fines and lengthy terms of imprisonment, in addition to irreversible reputational damage.

With specialist expertise in this field, our fraud defence solicitors in Leeds will be by your side to carefully guide you through every stage of a fraud case, whether you are acting as an individual or on behalf of a business.

Prison law advice

It should go without saying that imprisonment can be an extremely daunting and upsetting prospect. It is therefore important to understand exactly how the prison system works and what actions a prisoner and their loved ones can take to ensure they are treated fairly at all times.

Our prison law solicitors in Leeds regularly work with both prisoners and their families, assisting with a range of matters, including Parole Board reviews, prison transfers, prisoner welfare complaints and re-categorisation.
