Adam Rasul
Founder and CEO
Prevention is better than cure.
We fight to win.
Adam founded Holborn Adams with a bold vision: to transform the approach to criminal defence by focusing on pre-charge engagement. Believing so strongly in his mission, he fought to open Holborn Adams only a year after qualifying as a solicitor - long before the standard three year minimum. Adam believes strongly that proactive legal defence spares clients the unnecessary stress and reputational damage of a full blown criminal trial.
With a strong focus on criminal and sports law, Adam has secured landmark results for clients, featured by the global media. He represents high-profile clients - including elite athletes and celebrities - and acts as the “muscle” behind complex disputes, safeguarding his clients’ reputations and livelihoods. His personal track record includes securing no further action for individuals facing the most serious charges, including those on the world’s Most Wanted lists.

Every case is different. After your initial consultation, we’ll determine which services are best for your defence, and calculate a fixed fee quote for you.

We do not charge by the hour - only a fixed fee for your whole defence.
When you phone us, you’ll have an initial consultation with a member of our legal team on a completely confidential basis. They will listen to your case and may ask additional questions to get as much detail as possible so the team can decide whether they are the best fit for you. We cannot give exact costs, a timeline, or suggestions on how to proceed in this initial call.After this, they will give your case details to the rest of the team and someone will be in touch with you with a no-obligation fixed fee quote for representation, and some ideas for next steps (such as pre-charge engagement, police interview representation, and similar).

No - we are a 100% privately funded firm, meaning we charge a fixed fee for our services. We do not take on legal aid cases.
