A growing number of high profile individuals from the world of politics to popular entertainment have now spoken out about the personal suffering caused to them by protracted and highly publicised police investigations.
Despite the fact that the presumption of innocence is a fundamental principle at the heart of our justice system, there is a stigma which attaches to anyone who is accused of criminal activity. In addition to robustly defending our client in the face of criminal allegations, we will work exhaustively to protect our client’s reputation throughout the process.
Our understanding of both the statutory regime and a number of important sources of guidance that regulate police conduct allows us to make important interventions to ensure police actions are proportionate and conducted in accordance with the Human Rights Act—and that ultimately our client’s name and standing is protected throughout the investigation.
