On today's Legally Speaking podcast, I'm delighted to be joined by Matthew Claughton.
Matthew is the Managing Director of Olliers Solicitors, one of the UK's leading criminal defence firms.
Since taking full control of the business in 2018, he's helped steer Olliers through major period of growth, quadrupling turnover, strengthening its reputation in a privately funded criminal defense, and building a firm widely recognized for its expertise in pre-charge engagement, serious crime, fraud, regulatory work, and crisis management.
he is ranked as a leading partner by the legal 500 has been recognized as the legal 500 northern powerhouse criminal lawyer of the year and is widely regarded as one of the standout names in high stakes criminal defense but this conversation is more than the rankings and results it's what it really takes to be an outstanding criminal defense firm today how to build a practice around preventing charges not just winning at trial
And how do you lead through growth without losing standards?
And what does it take to stay independent, ambitious, and trusted in one of the most pressured areas of legal practice?
So a very big warm welcome to the show, Matthew.
Hi, you okay?
Very much so.
Very much looking forward to today's discussion.
But we've got a couple of quickfire ice break questions before we get into it.
Firstly, what is your favorite beverage?
And what is your preferred choice of footwear on a typical workday?
There we go.
And on your footwear?
And I'm also really appreciating the commitment to taking the shoe off to show our audience as well.
Thank you.
That is going above and beyond.
Not everyone has managed to do that.
But before we go down that rabbit hole, quick fire another question.
