Stokoe Partnership - leading criminal defence solicitors Information

The Stokoe Partnership is a criminal litigation practice which specialises in defending very serious crime. The practice was established in 1994 by Bambos Tsiattalou, who previously practiced as a barrister. It is Bambos’s attention to detail, meticulous case preparation and high-levels of client care that have become the standard and ethos of the practice. For instance, we have a policy of employing solicitors to manage cases at every level as opposed to unqualified caseworkers. This approach has led to the practice securing large cases, referred not only from previous and existing clients but also from Chambers and other professionals. Our office in Chancery Lane particularly deals with white collar and private instructions and consistently attracts high profile defences against bodies such as HM Revenue & Customs and The Serious Fraud Office, as well as the Crown Prosecution Service. Alongside our criminal practice we also represent individuals and public limited companies in allegations ranging from corruption, serious fraud (so called ‘white collar crime’) and regulatory issues. Internationally the Stokoe Partnership specialises in defending a wide variety of cases ranging from frauds involving the United Nations and foreign government ministers to large scale “City” frauds. We have strong relationships with lawyers in foreign jurisdictions and organisations to ensure we have access to experts in relevant jurisdictions. The Stokoe Partnership currently acts for individuals based in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, and we are also instructed by foreign lawyers on matters relating to the English Law. We provide comprehensive advice and assistance 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year.
