Farringdon Chambers continues to be instructed in a range of serious, high-profile criminal matters across murder, attempted murder, and major organised crime cases, both publicly and privately funded. Molly Pinkus represented the second defendant in a five-handed attempted murder trial at the Central Criminal Court involving allegations of a daylight shooting into a moving vehicle, successfully establishing an alternative presence for her client through detailed cell site cross-examination and securing acquittal on all charges. Graham Arnold acted as lead counsel in a ten-defendant organised crime prosecution concerning the alleged importation and distribution of significant quantities of cocaine and heroin across the UK, with allegations involving approximately 1.7 tonnes of cocaine.
