Getting your life back on track

When you’re arrested, it can feel like your life is crumbling. A conviction could mean prison, registration on an offenders’ list, or significant financial penalties. Even being charged can leave a lasting mark on your record, threatening your career - even if later you are found not guilty. At Holborn Adams, we understand how terrifying this is - which is why we promote pre-charge engagement wherever possible, aiming to resolve cases before charges are made.

You are in safe hands with Holborn Adams. We specialise in serious fraud, sexual offences, and regulatory matters, with access to leading criminal barristers, forensic and tax experts. We’ve secured outstanding results, including defending some of the largest VAT fraud cases in history, totalling over £1 billion. Our rate of “no further action” outcomes for sexual offence cases is exceptional.

For us, the goal of our defence is more than just winning. It’s about putting you at ease through one of the most stressful times of your life. We have links to charities to give you support throughout, and we offer fixed fee packages, free from hidden costs. We’ll never make false promises and you’ll always be kept in the loop.

With offices worldwide, we can meet you wherever you are. We’ve been instructed by clients in over 42 countries, including elite athletes, Royal Family members, and other individuals with a great deal at stake. Our work has earned us Legal 500 recognition in record time, a signal that we are top in our field.
