Chris Henley KC spoke to Sky News on Tuesday about David Lammy's proposal to abolish the historic right to trial by jury.

David Lammy was until very recently a passionate champion of trial by jury describing it as "a fundamental part of our democratic settlement. Criminal trials without juries are a bad idea" and that "our jury system may be centuries old, but it is still fit for purpose today''.

“I always felt in safe hands.”

A 5-star review from a client acquitted after a complex conspiracy to supply case:

“I can’t thank Carson Kaye enough for their outstanding support and representation during one of the most difficult periods of my life. After a five-year wait, I finally went to trial for charges of conspiracy to supply cannabis—despite my role being with a company selling CBD products. The case was complex and dragged on for months, but I always felt in safe hands.

Stefan and Ben, my solicitors, were incredibly supportive and dedicated throughout. They made sure I understood every part of the process, were always just a call away when I needed reassurance and had confidence in me from day one.

My barrister, Justin, was nothing short of exceptional. His advocacy, insight, and calm presence in court were instrumental during the nine-week trial. Charlie, you were amazing too! I honestly couldn’t have asked for a nicer team to go through this with.

Thanks to the hard work of everyone, I was acquitted along with all my co-defendants.

Carson Kaye not only defended me legally, but also supported me emotionally through an incredibly stressful time. I’m forever grateful for everything they’ve done. Highly recommended.

Thank you again all of you!”

The legal profession is mourning the loss of a giant, Courtney Griffiths KC. In his prime, he was head and shoulders above his peers. He was fearless and tenacious, but also a gentleman. It was a privilege to instruct and work with him. RIP the GOAT

A standout result for Stefan Sutherland.

Described as reliable, diligent and going the extra mile, Stefan continues to provide robust defence and exceptional legal support in serious criminal cases. A true credit to Carson Kaye Solicitors.
