Legally Speaking Podcast · How Olliers Solicitors Quadrupled Turnover by Rethinking Criminal Law - Matthew Claughton - S10E30 · 3 Aug 2026 podcast

So how have you kept Ollie's independent, specialist, and ambitious without diluting what the firm really stood for in the first place?

Yeah, I think it's very wise to do that given the world that we're in.

So tell us more.

the client can't be left in any doubt as to the level of expertise and you just compare that with oh we represent people on on murders come to us it's it's it's only one winner yeah you're talking my language and this is why i've been leaning all into content and hosting this show and having conversations like this with people in the roles doing the doing now and really educating because it is a it is a hub so i think that's the the key thing here is you're meeting people in a modern

way where people are going to discover you as well and you're being proactive.

So I love that.

And that, again, comes to your growth story, comes to your, you know, your client success story and everything that you're doing.

And sticking with clients, because I know we've talked a lot about sort of client care throughout this discussion, but in criminal sort of defense where reputation, liberty, livelihoods, as we've said, it's really, really important.

What does excellent client care actually look like in practice?

Clear, and that's come throughout really well throughout the discussion and it's authentic as well and genuinely caring.

Again, you're looking forwards, you've had growth, you've been prepared to make changes, you've continually stayed true to your values, really invest in your people, that's clear.

So from where you sit, what changes are you seeing in the way investigations are being conducted today, whether by the police, regulators or other authorities and how does that affect the way defence lawyers may need to prepare?

Never know, and I've been in business and seen various things you absolutely do not.

A practical question now for our audience, and this is just for educational purposes, this is not advice, just to put that disclaimer in.

If someone is listening to this and contacted by the police, a regulator or a professional body, and fears they may be under investigation, what are the first things they should do and should not do?

yeah no thank you for for sharing that and educating our audience we've talked um you talked earlier about staying calm but i just want to sort of hammer a message home given you know you've been so successful you've been leading a firm and such a wealth of experience um you know the work you're doing is super high stakes you know the outcomes really matter can affect people's livelihoods families generations of families you you name it so what has criminal defense taught you about leadership composure and decision making under pressure

Yeah, no sage advice.

And thank you for sharing that.

Before I let you go, this has been a wonderful conversation.

What advice would you give to aspiring lawyers who want to build a career in criminal defense or indeed high stakes investigations work?
