Livingstone Brown is a leading firm of Scottish solicitors, with an unparalleled reputation in all types of criminal work.
In many instances, the firm’s work begins with detention: a client being taken into police custody, often for interview. Solicitors provide initial advice to clients, whether by phone or in person, before attending for the interview itself. For many clients, police stations are uncomfortable, alien places, and interviews can be extremely stressful. Having good quality advice and robust support from a solicitor can be crucial.
Our team proactively focus on early engagement with authorities and pre-litigation work, with a proven track record of encouraging the police and the Crown to discontinue investigations and proceedings.
Our team provides a high-quality service from the start of a criminal investigation to its satisfactory conclusion. We explain and guide clients through the initial stages of an enquiry and prosecution, and offer professional representation at all stages of the criminal court process.
Where necessary, we can call on our in-house solicitor-advocates (who have the right to appear in the High Court of Justiciary, the Criminal Appeal Court and the UK Supreme Court) or on our strong network of external counsel. We also have access to a comprehensive range of recognised expert witnesses.
The team is regularly instructed by high-profile clients, and understand that, in those cases in particular, discretion is a significant factor.
Criminal allegations often have a major impact on the accused person’s life, and it is essential to get strong and effective representation. Whether the client is a company director facing a fraud allegation, or a private individual facing a domestic abuse allegation, we always strive to deliver the best possible service and support.
We are one of Scotland’s award winning criminal law firms for a reason. To find out more, contact our Specialist Litigation Team on 0141 429 8166 or by completing our online contact form.
