The Serious & General Crime Team at BCL provides specialist and discreet advice across the whole spectrum of criminal matters, from road traffic offences through to homicide, including sexual offences, drug supply and violent crimes. We have a strong bench of top-flight individuals in our team and hold a long-established reputation as a market leader in the largest and most high-profile serious criminal cases. We advise clients before charge, at the police station, through pre-charge engagement with the police, Crown Prosecution Service and other prosecuting authorities, and offer expert representation in the magistrates’ court, the crown court and at the Court of Appeal. Many of our clients are high-profile individuals in the fields of commerce, industry, entertainment, sport and the media, where discretion and reputation management are crucial.
