We understand the intricacies of the challenge you are facing, particularly in terms of defending your reputation (both publicly and personally amongst your friends, family, and colleagues) and preserving the career you may have spent much of your adult life striving for.
As well as our own expert advice, we can arrange for the instruction of specialist Counsel or in house advocate, with whom we’ve enjoyed close professional relationships for many years, to represent your position in court.
