Serious & General Crime

Hickman & Rose’s Serious and General Crime team represent individuals and organisations facing police investigation into the full range of crimes, from complex corporate manslaughter matters through to murder and drugs-related issues to more straightforward allegations of ‘low-level’ criminality.

No matter what the allegation, the department prides itself on providing the same level of intense client focus.

Criminal defence experts, the team has developed an excellent reputation for concluding cases before charge and is particularly valued for its ability take care of sensitive matters in a discreet and efficient manner. The department specialises in representing high profile clients against serious and reputationally-damaging charges.

Hickman & Rose’s Serious and General Crime team has won numerous industry accolades and is ranked as a leading “Band One / Tier One” practice by both the Chambers & Partners and Legal 500 legal directories.

2022’s Legal 500 directory described the team as “uniquely bring[ing] together practitioners with coalface criminal experience over many years in a boutique private client environment where they can utilise that experience to provide an exceptional service.”

Another expert told Legal 500: “They work seamlessly together. They are discreet and undertake really important work and high profile cases – they do it quietly but effectively.”
