Criminal barrister in Birmingham
Imran Shafi KC accepts instructions in Birmingham and across the Midlands. He is a criminal defence King’s Counsel based at Exchange Chambers in Manchester, and a substantial part of his drug conspiracy and fraud practice is Midlands work.
Why the Midlands
A silk’s practice follows the case rather than the postcode. Several of his larger drug conspiracies have been Midlands cases, including multi-defendant supply across the West Midlands, and fraud work regularly lists here.
Instructions come through his PA in the ordinary way, whichever court the case is in.
The courts
- Birmingham Crown Court
- One of the busiest Crown Court centres in the country, and where most serious Midlands cases are tried.
- Across the Midlands
- Wolverhampton, Coventry, Stafford, Warwick, Leicester and Nottingham among others.
- Travel and fees
- Where a hearing needs an overnight stay that is identified at the outset rather than appearing on an invoice later. See the fees page.
Instructing Imran
Through a solicitor, which is how most of his work arrives, or directly under Public Access. He is not authorised to conduct litigation, so a direct instruction means he does the law and the advocacy while you handle the paperwork.
