Crime

6 King`s Bench Walk is recognised as a leading set in the field of Criminal Law with strength at every level. Members have participated in many of the major criminal trials in recent years and appear frequently in the House of Lords, the Court of Appeal and the Divisional Court. Chambers` practice covers all areas of criminal law from murder to road traffic offences.

In particular we have developed an expertise in cases involving commercial crime.

Crown Court

Members of Chambers have extensive experience of both prosecuting and defending in the Crown Court. Much of the work we carry out involves serious crime, and members of Chambers frequently appear at the Central Criminal Court.

In recent years, members of Chambers have been involved a number of high profile cases, including the Damilola Taylor murder, the David Shayler Official Secrets Act case, the Who Wants to be a Millionaire? trial, the Ladbroke Grove rail case and the Anthony Imiela prosecution ("the M25 rapist"). Currently, members of Chambers are appearing in the litigation arising out of the Hatfield rail disaster.

Our most experienced barristers are often instructed as Leading Counsel in complex cases, have a particular expertise in money laundering and confiscation proceedings. Complimenting this, junior members of Chambers are frequently instructed as junior counsel, providing expert analysis and dedicated case preparation at an early stage. 6 King's Bench Walk's excellence in this area is widely recognised. Recently a team from Chambers was instructed to prepare major litigation in the Commercial Court.

We are instructed by a large number of defence solicitors. In addition to the Crown Prosecution Service, we are also instructed by a wide variety of other prosecution agencies, including the Serious Fraud Office, the Inland Revenue and HM Customs.

If you require further information about the work of Chambers, please contact the clerks.

Magistrates' Court

Junior members of chambers regularly defend at magistrates' courts in London and the South East. We also advise and prosecute for London Transport, local authorities, the Department of Trade Industry, the Immigration Services Commissioner, the Inland Revenue and the probation service.
