Criminal Defence Solicitor

I have been instructed on this role and we’re looking for a 0-4 PQE criminal solicitor who thrives on representing clients at their most vulnerable and enjoys the variety of police station and Magistrates’ Court work.

What I’m looking for:

• Full police station accreditation (essential).
• Duty accreditation preferred, but not essential.
• A genuine passion for criminal law and client care.
• Ability to manage a light to moderate Crown Court caseload (around 10–20 files).
• Interest in obtaining higher rights welcomed – training will be provided.

My client is a boutique criminal law firm recognised by Legal 500, Chambers and Partners, and listed in the Times Top 250 Law Firms. You’ll gain exposure to some of the most high-profile and serious criminal cases in the UK, working alongside experienced practitioners in a hands-on, supportive environment.

If you’re interested in learning more about the current criminal and regulatory market, or just want to have a chat about opportunities, I’d love to hear from you!
