We believe that criminal law can still be a rewarding career, both in job satisfaction and financially. We believe in promotion from within. We are six solicitors, four of us partners, and are looking to plan for the future.

If you don’t know the area, it is a beautiful place, with the Malvern hills nearby, great houses at reasonable prices and good schools in private and state sectors.

Our founding partner moved out of London twenty years ago to set up here and has no regrets…It is an excellent place to practice crime: the Courts and police station locally are amenable work environments a short walk away. The caseload is varied and surprisingly large. Serious work comes our way regularly both because of our reputation and fomr the busy scheme or repeat business. You will be respected as a professional and supported to develop as a lawyer. We are open and friendly and like to be a team
