Crown Court Solicitor

I am currently instructed on behalf of a fast-growing boutique law firm that is quickly making its mark on the UK legal landscape. Established in 2014, the firm is already ranked in Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners, and recognised in the Times Top 250 Law Firms. With a reputation for handling some of the highest-profile and most serious cases in the country, this is very much a firm on the rise.

Due to continued growth, we are looking to appoint a Criminal Solicitor with full Police Station Accreditation (plus Duty Accreditation, would be a bonus!) to work closely with one of the firm’s Directors on a varied and high-level caseload.

The Role

This is a hands-on position supporting serious criminal matters, including work for high-profile clients within the music industry, alongside regular police station attendance.

You will:

• Assist on serious and complex criminal cases
• Attend police stations regularly (including out-of-hours work)
• Support high-profile and sensitive matters with discretion
• Work closely with an experienced Director, gaining invaluable exposure

This is an ideal opportunity for someone looking to build substantial on-the-ground experience early in their career while being trusted with meaningful responsibility.

What We’re Looking For

• Full Police Station Accreditation and Duty Accreditation would be a bonus!
• Experience in, or strong interest in, serious criminal defence work
• Confidence attending police stations independently
• Ability to handle sensitive, high-profile clients with discretion
• Calm, professional manner with strong client-care skills
• Comfortable working to tight deadlines and managing complex evidence

Why Apply?

This is a unique opportunity to gain exposure to serious and high-profile criminal work within a firm that is genuinely “one to watch.” You will work closely with an experienced Director and develop your advocacy, tactical, and client-handling skills in a supportive but ambitious environment.
