Share

In the most recent edition of the leading legal directory Chambers UK (2023 edition), KANGS Solicitors has once again retained its Band 1 ranking for criminal defence work.

The ranking is the highest band that can be awarded to a law firm.

Chambers UK is a prestigious directory of the legal profession. Entry to the directory is much sought after by legal professionals. It undertakes all-year round research in order to compile its annual rankings for solicitors and barristers.

KANGS Solicitors is recognised as a market leader in criminal defence work with its national presence and team of award-winning solicitors.

Chambers UK has ranked the firm in Band 1 for many years now and we are extremely proud to have maintained our ranking in the highest category for criminal defence work.

Comprising a stellar team of highly experienced defence solicitors, the firm undertakes serious and general crime cases investigated and prosecuted by the leading authorities such as HMRC, CPS, NCA, BTP, Regional Crime Squads, City of London Police, BEIS, UKBA, Trading Standards, DWP, HSE, FACT (Federation Against Copyright & Software Theft), Environment Agency as well as defending private prosecutions including the RSPCA and private individuals.

Who Do We Represent?

Our Philosophy

The firm places the issues of confidentiality, privacy and reputation management at the forefront of its strategy when acting in such sensitive criminal investigations.

The ethos of the department is to:

  • leave no stone unturned
  • be proactive and challenge the investigator/prosecutor where appropriate
  • provide the client with an outstanding service
  • fiercely protect the client’s rights and interests at all times
  • engage with the investigator/prosecutor at all stages of the procedure
  • fight our client’s corner to achieve the best possible outcome.

Who Can I Contact For Help?

The commencement of a criminal investigation, by way of, for example, a dawn raid, arrest or voluntary interview under cautioncan have a significant debilitating effect on a business, individual client and family members.

Since 1997 we have successfully guided clients through a wide range of criminal investigations and prosecutions.

Our team of solicitors, nationally recognised for criminal defence work, is here to assist and can be contacted via telephone 0333 370 4333 and by email info@kangssolicitors.co.uk.
