Sentencing covers what happens after a conviction when a court decides the penalties for a criminal offence. In England, this includes sentences handed down in magistrates’ courts and the Crown Court, plus any later reviews or appeals. A solicitor practising in this area drafts and presents mitigation, gathers evidence of circumstances, and engages with the Probation Service, police, and the court to shape the sentence. It also covers compliance with Sentencing Council guidelines and potential post-sentence steps.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

Solictors in sentencing assemble mitigation, gather character references, obtain presentence reports, and liaise with probation services and rehabilitation schemes. They tailor submissions to the specific offence, the defendant’s circumstances, and the relevant guideline ranges, then advocate at the sentencing hearing, respond to opposing submissions, and handle any subsequent appeals or post-sentence applications where appropriate.
