We specialise in advising young people (under 18) and vulnerable young people on navigating criminal investigations and prosecutions, recognizing the significant stress this can cause for them and their families. Our lawyers understand the devastating consequences these investigations can have on a young persons’ life and they provide sensitive guidance to achieve the best outcomes possible, often persuading authorities not to pursue charges against our young clients. 

Our experience extends to clients with significant mental health challenges, working alongside healthcare professionals to minimize the impact of criminal proceedings on their well-being. We advocate for our clients’ needs and ensure their voices are heard throughout the justice process.
