Reeds Solicitors stands out for its expertise in criminal defence work. The practice is divided into the complex crime team, which focuses on large fraud claims, drug conspiracies and HMRC issues; and the private crime team, which advises on motoring issues, education work and general criminal cases. The former is led by Julian Richards, with the latter headed up by Stuart Matthews; both are based in Oxford. In Bristol, Stephen Clifford leads the Crown Court team, regularly defending clients at the Magistrates Court in a range of high-stakes crime cases. Nicola Hutchinson is highly experienced in a broad set of criminal and regulatory matters spanning murder, rape and sexual assault cases, fraud issues, and drug conspiracies. Solicitor advocate Andy Lee is another key member, noted for his representation of clients at the police station as well as the Magistrates Court.
