Our Story
Harewood Law is run by a team of expert criminal defence Solicitors. Leading high-profile barristers across the UK are instructed by us for our clients. We have barristers working on our cases daily, in many cities across the UK.
The story began in 2004
Harewood Law was set up in 2004 whilst most law firms were taking the conveyor belt approach of taking on a high volume of cases and not being selective, we decided to be selective about the work we took on, concentrating on more of the complex cases, we have been involved in cases that regularly appear in the national news. We took a client focussed approach, assembling teams around the client’s needs, identifying leading barristers and experts for each client. The client feedback has been excellent as they see a different approach to most high street firms. We are a specialist firm in serious crime.
Consistent legal representation
From the first point of contact you are introduced to the team, you are allocated the appropriate person who specialises in and has experience of your type of case, we instruct if required a leading barrister who has vast experience in your particular type of case and then work with you proactively to prepare your defence.
