Our Crown Court and Court of Appeal work is predominantly in the field of defence. Our members have received instructions in caseload includes cases of murder, manslaughter, terrorism, serious sexual offences, fraud, gangland crime, large-scale drug conspiracies and matters under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002.
