Do I Need a Lawyer?
Although you may not yet have been arrested or charged with a crime, if you are under investigation or suspect that you may be arrested or charged, you should instruct a lawyer to discuss your situation. Our discussions are privileged, which means anything you say may not be communicated to police or investigators. You can discuss your circumstances and concerns with me in detail, and I can advise on the best way to proceed. If you engage me at this stage, I will devise a strategy to ensure that if you are arrested or charged with an offence, your case has the best chance of a successful outcome.
Also, your reputation is one of your most valuable assets, and I can help with taking measures to protect it. I understand how stressful this time may be for you, so I do everything I can to make sure you are protected.

There are several reasons to contact me before being arrested or charged, but it mainly comes down to my strategic approach to casework and giving yourself the best chance of success.
Police Station Interviews
If you are arrested, you have the right to contact a lawyer before being interviewed by the police. If you instruct me before your arrest, I can prepare you adequately for what might happen.

We work together to ensure that from the earliest stages, you are prepared. Your defence begins as soon as you get in contact with me.
Corporate Fraud Investigations
When it comes to corporate fraud, there are several options open to you before you are formally charged or arrested. I can advise you fully on your position, including whether self-reporting to the relevant authorities is a good option for you. This area of law is incredibly complex, and the sooner you instruct a specialist to work with you, the more options that are available to you. In fraud defence cases I work closely with Mandip Kumar of Precedence Law. He has a fearsome reputation – he is tenacious, innovative and highly motivated. He is a man of integrity who works tirelessly in the best interests of his clients. He is often instructed in the most challenging and demanding cases because he is willing and able to take on a challenge.
