Our Expertise in Serious & Organised Crime Defence
Lewis Nedas Law is renowned for its expertise in defending against a wide range of serious and organised crime allegations. Our team includes acknowledged experts in areas such as firearms law, the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA), use of informants, disclosure, abuse of process, and complex criminal appeals.
We specialise in defending clients accused of:
Murder
Allegations of murder are among the most serious in the criminal justice system, carrying life-changing consequences. Our solicitors have extensive experience in handling complex homicide cases, working with leading barristers and forensic experts to challenge evidence, scrutinise police procedures, and build a robust defence.
Internet Crimes
Internet crime covers a wide spectrum, from hacking and online fraud to cyberstalking and offences involving indecent images. Our organised crime solicitors in London understand the technical complexities of digital evidence and have successfully defended clients against a range of cybercrime allegations.
Sexual Offences
Being accused of a sexual offence can have devastating personal and professional repercussions. Our team provides discreet, sensitive, and determined defence in cases involving historic allegations, sexual assault, indecent images, and more. We are committed to protecting your rights and reputation at every stage.
Firearms Offences
Firearms allegations are treated with the utmost seriousness by the courts. Our lawyers have particular expertise in firearms law, including possession, use, and importation offences. We have successfully challenged the legality of searches, the admissibility of evidence, and the classification of weapons.
Drugs Trafficking
Drugs trafficking cases often involve multi-agency investigations, covert surveillance, and complex financial evidence. We have defended clients in some of the UK’s largest drug conspiracy cases, challenging the prosecution’s case at every turn and securing acquittals or reduced sentences where possible.
People Smuggling
Allegations of people smuggling and human trafficking are increasingly prosecuted as part of organised crime. Our serious crime lawyers are experienced in defending clients accused of facilitating illegal entry, exploitation, or modern slavery, providing expert advice throughout the investigation and court process.
Criminal Appeals / CCRC References
If you have been wrongly convicted or received an unjust sentence, our team can advise on appeals to the Court of Appeal or applications to the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC). We have a strong record of overturning convictions and sentences in serious criminal cases.
Motoring Offences
Serious motoring offences, such as causing death by dangerous driving or repeat drink/drug driving, can result in lengthy prison terms and driving bans. Our London criminal defence lawyers provide expert representation, challenging evidence and minimising the impact on your life.
