Judicial Review in Criminal Cases

We can provide comprehensive and effective legal advice and assistance to both individuals and companies caught up in criminal investigations.

 

Our team of experts will assess carefully the grounds for starting a judicial review with regard to the lawfulness of actions taken by investigators, prosecutors or the Court. We then work closely with our Public Law & Human Rights team who will offer their expertise in supervising cases of judicial review in criminal cases under a wide range of different circumstances.
