The advocate chosen for a serious criminal case should match the issues, evidence and level of risk involved. Ghafar Khan can undertake advocacy himself as a High Court Advocate and can also instruct an experienced specialist barrister or King’s Counsel where the case requires it.
Matching advocacy to the case
The right choice depends on the allegation, court, complexity, likely legal argument and the client’s needs. A large conspiracy or murder case may require different experience from a focused Crown Court application, appeal or sentencing hearing.
A coordinated defence team
Effective representation depends on communication between the client, solicitor, advocate and any expert witnesses. Ghafar Khan remains involved in preparation so that the advocate receives organised instructions, relevant documents and a clear account of the defence issues.
Cases requiring specialist advocacy
- murder, manslaughter and serious violence;
- drug supply, importation and conspiracy;
- serious fraud, money laundering and POCA;
- organised crime, EncroChat and digital evidence;
- criminal appeals and complex legal applications.
Legal aid may be available depending on the case and eligibility. Private representation can also be discussed.
