Solicitor - Partner

SRA ID: 22849

Rajesh qualified as a solicitor in 1998 and has specialised in criminal defence work since then. Initially training in commercial law and undertaking fraud cases, at the stage of a trainee solicitor, he has over 20 years’ experience practising criminal law. In 2001 he joined Baljit Tank and Simon Jowett as a partner in Tank Jowett Solicitors. Rajesh has defended in some of the most serious and complex cases in the country. He is regularly instructed in drugs, murder, fraud and money laundering cases as well as in cases involving organised crime. Rajesh routinely deals with fraud cases involving pharmaceuticals/medicines (MHRA), post office frauds, company frauds, VAT fraud and tax evasion. Over the years he has dealt with many sexual offences, concerning historical and recent rape allegations, possession of indecent images, paedophile allegations, sexual abuse and other domestic related matters. Rajesh is also regularly instructed in allegations involving firearms and armed robberies. Rajesh has a meticulous approach to case preparation and is outstanding in his understating of forensic issues and tactical considerations. He has been involved in cases in which disclosure failings by the prosecuting authorities have been unmasked. Rajesh’s practice covers all parts of the country and all levels of the criminal justice system, including pre-arrest and pre-charge advice through to representation at the Magistrates Courts, Crown Court (jury trials), and appeals against conviction and sentence. The investigation stage of a police enquiry can be very lengthy and stressful for the suspect in question. Rajesh is proactive in engaging with the investigating authority and has on many occasions persuaded the prosecution not to bring charges against his clients, by making representations challenging the evidence in the case.
