Practice Areas
Specialist Criminal Defence Expertise
Our work spans every stage of criminal litigation — from initial police interviews and pre-charge advice to Crown Court advocacy and appellate proceedings.
We are routinely instructed in matters involving serious financial offences, violent and organised crime, and sensitive personal allegations, often involving international cooperation, digital forensics, and specialist evidence.
Criminal Investigations
guiding individuals and companies through dawn raids, voluntary interviews, and complex disclosure.
Crown Court Trials
Preparing robust, evidence-driven defence strategies with leading barristers and expert witnesses.
Appeals & Reviews
Advising on grounds of appeal, miscarriages of justice, and post-conviction remedies.
Financial & Economic Crime
Salem Law advises clients facing allegations of fraud, bribery, money laundering, tax evasion, and corporate misconduct.
Our solicitors are experienced in defending investigations led by the Serious Fraud Office (SFO), HMRC, and the National Crime Agency (NCA).
We act in POCA and confiscation proceedings, restraint orders, and cross-border asset recovery cases, often involving international financial transactions and digital evidence.
We also provide strategic compliance advice for professionals and regulated businesses under scrutiny — helping clients mitigate criminal exposure before it escalates into prosecution.
Serious & Violent Crime
We represent clients accused of murder, manslaughter, terrorism, conspiracy, and violent disorder, as well as historical offences.
Our firm is regularly instructed in EncroChat-related prosecutions, multi-defendant trials, and cases involving forensic or surveillance evidence.
Salem Law’s solicitors combine careful preparation with courtroom advocacy to challenge complex evidence and secure fair trials, even in cases attracting significant media attention.
Drug & Sexual Offences
Salem Law provides discreet and robust defence in allegations of drug trafficking, supply, and possession, as well as sexual offences — including those of a sensitive or historical nature.
We approach each matter with care, confidentiality, and a focus on safeguarding our clients’ reputations and wellbeing.
Our team works closely with forensic and psychological experts to ensure that every element of the case is examined and contested thoroughly.
Collaborative & Multidisciplinary Approach
Our firm works alongside a trusted network of King’s Counsel, specialist barristers, forensic accountants, and digital analysts, ensuring that each case receives comprehensive attention and technical expertise.
Whether the matter involves financial data, encrypted communications, or forensic evidence, our team ensures that no detail is overlooked.
We also liaise with international counsel and law enforcement agencies when cases extend beyond UK jurisdiction, ensuring coordinated and informed defence strategies across borders.
