Tim Baker

Director and founder

Tim Baker has extensive experience working within criminal law, both for the defence and the prosecution. As a defence lawyer, Tim regularly represents clients who are interviewed under caution for a wide variety of offences, including serious sexual offences, fraud and homicide. Tim is an accomplished advocate, having spent many years conducting his own trials in the Magistrates Court. 

Tim was also formerly employed by the Crown Prosecution Service as a Senior Crown Prosecutor in the Thames Valley Crown Court team. His responsibilities included reviewing case files, providing legal advice and analysing and preparing serious cases for trial in the Crown Court. One of Tim’s key responsibilities was to provide pre-charge advice to the police. This involved analysing whether there was sufficient evidence to charge suspects with particular offences. This makes Tim especially adept at drafting pre-charge representations on behalf of his clients. 

In Tim’s last role, he held a senior position within a criminal defence firm who specialise in representing high-net worth individuals and celebrities. During his time there Tim refined his skills in drafting pre-charge representations on behalf of clients, largely for sexual offences. Tim also handled cases of serious violence, domestic abuse and serious fraud. 

Tim is extremely personable and builds a strong rapport with his clients, many of whom he has kept in touch with after the conclusion of their cases.
