We handle the most serious, complex and high-profile criminal cases in the UK. We fight fearlessly for our clients in the face of the best-resourced investigative and prosecution agencies, including the NCA and SFO.
Our firm is recognised in the Legal 500 for a ‘very high’ standard of case preparation and a ‘first-class legal brain’.
We will unpick every aspect (legal and factual) of the prosecution case in order to win. We often represent clients in lengthy Crown Court trials and Court of Appeal cases. However our aim is always to end cases at the police station.
Our clients range from celebrities, members of the media and businessmen, to normal people who get caught up in the justice system.
The cases we deal with often attract the attention of the media and we advise clients on how to handle this.
We provide litigation and advocacy services, but often we work with Queens Counsel on the most serious cases. We also utilise experts who are at the cutting-edge forensic science to assist us in presenting the most compelling case.
If you think we can help you, or someone you know, please contact us on 0208 963 1050 or info@lloydspr.com.
