Natasha Shim
Director
Natasha has a background in both criminal and civil proceedings. She has also been involved in high-profile serious criminal cases, some of which have set legal precedents and are reported in the law reports.
Having represented a number of fellow professionals who have faced serious criminal charges, including; accountants, doctors, solicitors and healthcare professionals, she continues a high success rate in pre-charge representations, avoiding clients facing criminal proceedings and/or charges due to her specialist expertise and approach.

She continues to act for clients on international drugs trafficking cases and multi-jurisdictional pre-charge cases / investigations.
Natasha has also represented individuals connected to public office. All cases are dealt with very sensitively and with complete discretion at all times.
Natasha has a track record of extraordinary achievements in her recent career, successfully practising as a commercial solicitor in a leading international law firm. She has represented professionals and corporations, including some of the UK’s leading insurance companies, in high-value claims.
