The general crime team at Shaw Graham Kersh is not split between police and court departments, with clients instead retaining the same representation throughout the legal process. The firm’s caseload includes matters such as gang violence, firearms, drug investigations, child slavery, terrorism and murder. Allegations of sexual assault are also handled, with the firm pursuing both current and historic cases in private appeals. Led by the ‘meticulous‘ Paul Graham and ‘excellent‘ Philip Hill, the team also includes Raymond Shaw, a ‘tactically astute‘ practitioner who recently advised a key witness in the Grenfell Tower Inquiry.
