Chambers of Adrian Darbishire KC and Selva Ramasamy KC

Roger Smart’s practice encompasses all areas of criminal law. He specialises in cases of homicide, kidnapping, blackmail, large-scale supply of drugs, firearms, armed robbery, fraud, public official corruption, people trafficking and money laundering. The investigations underlying these cases often involve covert pro-active and reactive operations and in certain instances Roger is instructed to advise during the live phase of the inquiry prior to arrests being made. He has a detailed knowledge of, and wealth of experience in relation to, issues attracting public interest immunity. Roger is particularly adept at providing advice on strategic decisions arising in large-scale, complex multijurisdictional inquiries. He has an excellent knowledge relating to a wide range of firearms acquired through serving for many years in the armed forces.
