QEB Hollis Whiteman is proud to be acknowledged as one of the finest criminal barristers' chambers in the country. Our core practice is providing specialist advocates who prosecute and defend in trials of serious, complex and high-profile crime, in all courts from Magistrates' courts to the House of Lords.

Our focus on this area and the breadth of our expertise make us the chambers of choice in this field whether publicly or privately funded.

Our work encompasses the most serious, complex and high-profile criminal cases: murder, terrorism, corporate manslaughter, serious sexual offences and serious organised crime, including major drugs conspiracies and armed robberies.

We are also involved in advising on criminal money laundering and other regulatory matters arising during internal investigations conducted by private clients.
