    In England, a trial covers the preparation for and conduct of criminal proceedings in court, from initial indictment or charge to verdict. A solicitor in this area handles case management, disclosure, and evidence gathering, drafts and negotiates statements and applications, and represents clients at pre-trial hearings and in court. They work with counsel, instruct expert witnesses, and manage instructions for juries in Crown Court trials, aiming to protect the client’s position throughout the process.

    “Amrit was professional, friendly and knew exactly what he was doing when accompanying me to a police interview. He got me a far better outcome than I could have imagined and I’m so thankful. Would 100% recommend.”
