Comprehensive Legal Defence in Serious and Violent Crime

Salem Law represents clients facing some of the UK’s most serious and high-profile criminal prosecutions. We act with strategic foresight, discretion, and precision to deliver robust defence in complex cases involving multiple defendants, digital evidence, and media scrutiny.

Our solicitors defend clients charged with murder, manslaughter, and joint enterprise, often involving forensic, ballistic, or DNA evidence. Each case is meticulously prepared with expert witnesses and leading barristers.

We act in large-scale conspiracies involving drugs, violent disorder, or financial offences. Our team analyses digital communication, cell site, and surveillance material to expose evidential weaknesses.

We provide defence for clients accused of terrorism-related offences, from online extremism investigations to serious national security charges. Our solicitors handle sensitive evidence and liaise with counter-terrorism units while maintaining confidentiality.

We represent clients in cases of grievous bodily harm (GBH), armed violence, and public order offences. Our defence strategies challenge intent, identification, and forensic reliability to mitigate or dismiss charges.

Our team handles historical allegations, including those revived after decades, and complex, media-sensitive prosecutions requiring discretion and reputation protection. We are also experienced in EncroChat-related cases involving encrypted communications and extensive disclosure.

24-hour attendance at police stations for clients arrested or invited for voluntary interview on drug or sexual allegations.
