About Us

Our Background and Expertise

Founded by Mr Mohammed Hifzur Rahman, a Law Society-accredited duty solicitor with more than eighteen years’ experience, our firm was established to give both individuals and companies the strongest possible defence.

Mr Rahman began practice in 2005 and rose to become Head of Complex Crime at City Law Chambers before founding this practice. He has defended clients in some of the country’s most demanding prosecutions, including multi-million-pound frauds, large-scale banking fraud, conspiracies to supply and homicide.

We hold a full Legal Aid contract and maintain a City of London duty solicitor slot. We are able to represent clients throughout England and Wales, whether privately funded or publicly funded under Legal Aid (subject to the applicable means and merits tests)

Over many years Mr Rahman has built a trusted network of specialist experts—forensic scientists, digital analysts, financial investigators and medical professionals—and works with a hand-picked panel of accomplished counsel known for their dynamic and persuasive advocacy. Together, we prepare every defence with exceptional care and rigour.

Our team is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, ensuring that your rights are protected from the very outset.
