Adam Rasul
CEO
Adam is a Solicitor-Advocate with a unique CV that sets the bar higher than most criminal lawyers worldwide.
Adam was one of the youngest lawyers in law society history to establish a law firm within the first year of being newly qualified as a solicitor. He had to present/argue his case to open a law firm (earlier than the 36 month prescribed period) to the Law Society. As a result of presenting his ideas on pioneering pre charge and pro active criminal defence, the law society passed a waiver to permit him to have his own practice before the three year period. His opening of a law firm was supported by Judges, Managing Partners and references from worldwide entrepreneurs.
He has now been running Holborn Adams exclusively for ten years. That is a decade in strict private practice only and pre charge defence.
He has extensive worldwide international criminal defence experience in over 42 countries.
