Private Representation

Whether ineligible for Legal Aid through means or choosing to defend their case in the most effective way possible, privately funded criminal cases are dramatically increasing in number.

At THB we are acutely aware of the impact that an arrest or a criminal conviction can have on an individual and their family. In selecting private representation each client can be assured of the highest quality representation by the most experienced solicitors and barristers within the firm.

Private work ranges from fixed fee options in the magistrate’s courts covering road traffic offences or appearances for summary trial to an hourly rate approach in circumstances where a client requires a more immediate and attentive service.

Each private client will receive a full assessment of their particular matter and will be offered a range of funding options depending upon the level of Fee Earner dealing with the case. The THB Private Client Team regularly deals with high net worth individuals or professionals facing regulatory investigations or matters likely to cause reputational damage. This most challenging area is where we excel and our wide experience in the field will allow us to offer you the most appropriate level of service for your legal problem.
