Martyn Prowel Solicitors provides 'realistic and clear advice' to defendants across a broad range of criminal offences including, murder, serious and complex fraud, large conspiracies involving drugs and other offences, and historical sexual abuse. As well as handling privately funded matters, much of the workflow is legally aided, with the firm's inclusion on the Very High Costs Cases Panel regularly eliciting some very complex and document heavy mandates. The 'exceptionally experienced' Aled Watkins is one of many in the team with higher rights of audience and in the course of his career has been involved in a myriad cases before English and Welsh courts, including as it relates to terrorism and money laundering. James Lynch, who co-heads the team alongside Watkins and Lynda Rhead , is also a pivotal member of the team and his role as ‘Level A’ Litigator in Very High Cost Cases has seen him involved in many interesting legally aided cases. At an associate level, James Harris is 'always thoroughly prepared and aware of the details in the case', including as it relates to benefit fraud.
