Crime (General & Fraud)
Our Criminal Team is ranked as Band 2 and has been described as follows:
“KBW is a Leeds-based set with a large crime group. Its members have experience across complex and serious crime, handling matters including child sexual exploitation, homicide and drugs cases. It accepts instructions for both prosecution and defence work. Recent cases have included R v Scott, a four-week murder trial involving a cut-throat defence. One source notes "the breadth of knowledge and experience that KBW has in general crime is exceptional.”
To that end, our clerking team has been recognised in the following ways:
"The clerking team is particularly strong and first junior clerk Lee Baines is fantastic. He is easily contactable and offers sound advice on the compatibility of barristers for each case."
"Senior clerk Jayne Turner and her junior Lee Baines are friendly and willing to try to resolve any issues that arise - they are a pleasure to deal with and a credit to KBW."
"The clerks are always available to respond to any queries or questions in a professional and courteous manner."
