    This work covers defending someone charged with murder, the most serious criminal offence in England and Wales. A solicitor practising murder defence represents the defendant at police stations, in custody and in court from first appearance to trial, including bail applications, trial preparation, and instructions to experts. They gather and review forensic evidence, interview witnesses, and liaise with the Crown Prosecution Service and the court to advance a coherent defence and protect the client’s rights at every stage. The approach is shaped by the gravity of the charge and the potential consequences.
