Hickman & Rose

Partner. Serious and General Crime.

Peter Csemiczky is an expert criminal defence solicitor in our Serious & General Crime team who offers his clients a complete service from investigation to trial. He acts for individuals and organisations facing a broad spectrum of criminal allegations: from homicide and other violent offences to serious sexual assaults, drugs, communications, and motoring offences. Whatever the allegation, Peter understands the impact of an investigation or proceedings on his clients and gives the same intense commitment to all his cases.

Peter has a particularly strong reputation for representing professionals, high-profile, and High Net Worth individuals for whom any suggestion that they may be connected to criminality is can be professionally and personally devastating. He takes pride in providing his clients with a truly personal, dedicated service, whatever the problem they face.

Peter is expert in navigating the investigation and prosecution processes so that allegations are either ended early or are completed in in the most discreet way possible. His diligent case preparation, fierce determination and sympathetic manner mean that clients are highly enthusiastic about the results he achieves. Peter’s success in this area is, in part, due to his ability to handle with sensitivity matters which, if not given the appropriate care and attention, would cause huge personal, professional, financial, and reputational damage.

Peter has a niche specialism in advising school and university students facing disciplinary investigations, often involving sexual allegations, which have the potential, if not handled correctly, to develop into police investigations.

After initially training to be a musician and a fledgling career in Fintech, Peter qualified as a solicitor in 2009. He joined Hickman & Rose in 2015. He was made a partner in January 2018.

Peter is an active current member of the European Criminal Bar Association and Law in Sport and is the former secretary and committee member of the London Criminal Courts Solicitors’ Association.
