Cartwright King was established on 1 January 2000 from the de-merger of two departments of one of largest law firms in the Midlands. Operating from modern Nottingham, Derby, Leicester and Sheffield city centres - concentrating exclusively on defence - our expanding team continues to attract work and lawyers of the highest quality.

Our business defence approach is relaxed, efficient, and down-to-earth. We believe in visiting our clients’ premises wherever possible, both to minimise disruption and to gain a real understanding of their business. We have a wide experience of commerce and industry, considerable technical and scientific knowledge and, as business people too, we talk your language. We evaluate problems and identify solutions as quickly as possible with a minimum of fuss and expense. We liaise with investigating bodies on your behalf, and protect you from unnecessary pressure.

On the criminal defence side we have a reputation for being strong, for standing and fighting, and for getting results. We’re practical, efficient, approachable… and not easily fazed. We talk straight and keep you constantly informed. We’ll get you Legal Aid and, rest assured, we deliver the best possible outcomes. You couldn’t be in safer hands.

We also have excellent contacts and, if necessary, can involve legal specialists from other fields or forensic experts. Like you, we are passionate about winning!
