The Role
Senior Criminal Defence Solicitor - Nottingham (with nationwide travel)
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Senior Criminal Defence Solicitor to join a highly regarded and specialist criminal law team in their Nottingham office.
This position offers the chance to work on a diverse and high-quality privately funded Crime caseload, advising both individuals and companies facing investigation or prosecution by a wide range of authorities.
You will provide confidential, high-quality legal advice and representation, guiding clients through every stage of their case while ensuring they fully understand their position and options. The role requires a sensitive, discreet, and client-focused approach, helping to minimise the impact of proceedings on clients’ personal and professional lives.
The caseload will include privately funded matters involving investigations and prosecutions by enforcement and regulatory bodies, alongside complex criminal cases such as fraud, serious sexual offences, and confiscation proceedings. The firm operates on a nationwide basis, and the role will involve travel to police stations and courts as required.
You will also contribute to maintaining the firm’s high professional standards, supporting business development initiatives, and collaborating closely with a team of experienced criminal lawyers.
