Mountford Chambers delivers a nationwide and international service to clients, who are assured quality advice, advocacy and representation at all levels.
Private prosecution is a rapidly expanding practice area for the criminal bar. Members of Mountford Chambers regularly advise corporations or individuals on the merits of bringing such cases. Conversely, they are adept at advising those who find themselves as a target of a malicious private prosecutor where proceedings may have been brought for the purposes of leverage in parallel civil proceedings.
There has been an inevitable upturn in this area of work as the budgetary constraints of the nation’s protectionary bodies face cuts; those affected by the cuts include the SFO, FCA, CPS and HMRC.
Launching a private prosecution allows an individual more control over the case as it facilitates increased input as to how the case is run, as well as greater access to the legal team instructed to represent them.
Members of Mountford Chambers have considerable experience in defending proceedings brought by a private prosecutor, and are well versed in guiding clients through what can be a difficult experience.
Mountford Chambers is home to a team of highly responsive, experienced and knowledgeable clerks.
