Our Practice Areas:

Criminal Defence

At KMC Legal, our expert defence team brings decades of proven success across every level of the criminal justice system — from Magistrates’ Court hearings to high-profile cases in the Court of Appeal.

We specialise in complex and serious criminal matters, including:
• Fraud and financial crime
• EncroChat and encrypted communication cases
• Terrorism offences
• Large-scale drug importation
• Serious violent crime

Our outstanding track record is built on strategic, fearless advocacy. We work alongside the UK’s top King’s Counsel, leading Junior Barristers, and independent forensic and legal experts to secure the strongest possible defence.

Litigation and Disputes

Our team provides clear, strategic support in all types of litigation and disputes. Whether involving individuals, businesses, or employment issues. We are known for delivering strong outcomes, practical advice, and exceptional value.

We regularly work with some of the country’s most respected Civil Barristers and can secure early advice from Counsel where it adds value to your case.

At KMC Legal, we focus on solutions, not complications.

With transparent costs and flexible funding options available, we make high quality legal representation accessible when it matters most.

Family Law

At KMC Legal, our dedicated team has extensive experience in all areas of Family Law. We specialise in No Fault Divorce, Private Children Matters, and Financial Settlements following separation or divorce, including Consent Orders.

We are also highly experienced in urgent and protective Court applications, such as Non Molestation Orders and Occupation Orders.

We understand that family proceedings can be emotional and overwhelming. That is why our friendly and committed team is here to guide you with clarity, compassion, and practical support at every stage of your case.

Confiscation, POCA and Section 10

We pride ourselves on being leading Confiscation practitioners. Our team has helped to battle the draconian statute and help to shape the law today with leading cases. Our in-house advocate has saved over £1/2 a BILLION on Proceeds of Crime Act [POCA] orders over the last decade.

We understand the stress of family homes and legitimate assets being at risk, along with over inflated benefit figures, which the system allows if unchallenged.

We meet each client’s needs and objectives, proactively and tactically attacking POCAs from an early stage, often obtaining withdrawals by the Crown. We understand the need to involve clients and ensure a high level of client care.

We act for clients from the commencement of POCA proceedings and those who wish to change solicitors, if there has been a breakdown in the client/solicitor relationship.

Police Station Representation and Return of Seized Property

Everyone has the right to legal advice and representation at the police station, regardless of the alleged offence.

If there is no immediate need for arrest, we can arrange a voluntary interview, giving you time to seek advice and attend at a time that suits you.

Our proactive team is available 24 hours a day, working around the clock to move your case forward as quickly as possible.

We aim to avoid charges where we can or reduce the severity of those brought, supporting you through all pre-court matters with care and expertise.

Motoring/Transport Law

We are Driven by Results

Our in-house advocates have extensive experience handling a wide range of motoring offences — from speeding and drink or drug driving to the most serious cases such as causing death by dangerous driving.

We work with gold standard trial advocates known for their attention to detail, technical legal knowledge, and early case strategy. They are supported by a dedicated team of caseworkers who guide clients through every stage with clarity, care, and practical advice.

We understand how vital your driving licence is. Whether you hold a standard licence, a motorbike licence, or a professional LGV or HGV licence, our team has the knowledge and experience to protect your right to drive.

Equine Law

As experienced owners, riders and supporters across the main disciplines, our team are best placed to defend matters brought by the British Equestrian Federation, along with dealing with all equine litigation and agreements.

We are of the mindset that it is better to shut the stable door before the horses escape, so we provide advice and support on all regulatory and business matters to ensure owners, riders, providers of facilities and professionals are fully protected.

Katie McCreath, our Managing Director, is a Solicitor Advocate who holds higher rights of audience to represent clients in hearings up to and including the High Court.

Sports Law, Agency and Management

With a 100 percent success rate in sports disciplinary and tribunal matters, we have defended Gold Medal winners, England team athletes, and high profile professionals with discretion and impact.

Whether it is career progression, contract management, or risk mitigation, we are committed to protecting the people and organisations that power sport.

Business Support

We are part of the The Law Society ‘Lawyers for your Business’ Scheme. We provide leading advice to all businesses from sole-traders to international corporations.

Starting or growing a business should be an exciting process, but without the right support it can be complicated and confusing, especially where legal matters are concerned. Too often, it is not until matters reach crisis point that people ask a Solicitor for advice.

From one-off advice to ongoing affordable bespoke retainers, we can advise on all aspects of business law, including transactions, contracts and people management.

Our Solicitors and Caseworkers have been proactively involved from new set up businesses to the restructuring of Multi-Million pound businesses.
