St Pauls Chambers has a nationwide reputation as a pre-eminent criminal set.

Our criminal law barristers are renowned as some of the foremost advocates in the criminal jurisdiction and regularly appear in cases of national importance. That reputation has been built and established on unrelenting hard work coupled with an absolute commitment to excellence in everything our members do.

Members are available to conduct cases across the entire spectrum of criminal offending, including environmental law, motoring offences, drug crimes, sexual offences, prison law and more. Whether for both prosecution and defence either on a publicly funded or private basis.

Our team is close knit with members supporting each other and pooling their experience and expertise. We believe this collegiate approach benefits not only our team but the clients who we represent.

Our Process at St Pauls Chambers

When an enquiry is made, our experienced clerking team will assess the circumstances of the case and then provide a bespoke series of options to the client. Those options will include a tailored range of members whose experience and expertise best fit the circumstances of the case in question.

Once the client has instructed their chosen barrister, that barrister will work tirelessly to achieve the best outcome possible. In so doing, they will provide advice and advocacy of the highest quality.

Once the matter has concluded, the chosen criminal law barrister will explain the outcome of the case in a comprehensive, sympathetic and clear manner. St Pauls Chambers recognises the importance not only of securing the best result possible for our clients but also of explaining that result to both our lay and professional clients.

Our website outlines the diverse legal areas in which we specialise, and our case studies serve as a testament to our capabilities. For further assistance or expert legal advice, please don’t hesitate to call our experienced clerk team.

“The clerking team is responsive, extremely approachable and knowledgeable”
