This area covers criminal cases where the outcome is an acquittal, i.e., a not guilty verdict. A solicitor practising criminal defence investigates the prosecution case, challenges evidence, and advises on trial strategy to secure an acquittal in Crown Court or Magistrates’ Court. They prepare and present the defence, handle disclosure issues, cross‑examine witnesses, apply for bail or conditions, and address any potential appeal or retrial implications if the verdict is not guilty. The work is shaped by the specifics of the case, the evidence, and the trial procedure.
A not guilty result ends the proceedings in favour of the defendant, with possible implications for costs and future rights. A solicitor protects the client’s position by ensuring procedural fairness, advising on post‑trial rights, and addressing any follow‑on steps such as appeals or reporting restrictions where relevant.
