Transparency and integrity
Police officers and forces are faced with making challenging decisions every day. Claims against the police have a damaging effect not only for the force itself but the public confidence.
Very often serious allegations are made against serving police officers and we are dedicated to ensuring that such allegations, if possible, are defended robustly, appropriately and with a proactive approach.
Recognising that both ethical and legal considerations need to be met, we have over 25 years’ experience of working with the police to defend public and civil claims. Legal advice and support is readily on hand in areas such as:
- Assault
- False imprisonment
- Misfeasance in public office
- Malicious prosecution
- Judicial review
- Inquests
- Use of force
- Human Rights Act
- Deaths in custody
- Child sexual exploitation
- Stress
- Inquests
- Road traffic accidents
- Employers’ liability
- Public liability
