The criminal legal aid sector is set to undergo significant changes with the introduction of new contracts starting in September 2025. The new contracts will last 10 years, providing certainty to those delivering service and allowing for long term decisions to be made. They will also contain changes to the key requirements organisations will be required to meet.

This development has sparked a wave of interest from new firms looking to establish themselves within the criminal law sector. However, seizing this opportunity requires careful planning and expert guidance. At Marketing Lawyers, we have a proven track record of assisting numerous law firms with their setup. We understand the unique challenges that new firms face, and we are well-positioned to guide and support through the intricate process.

Please find reviews from criminal law specialists below.

“Marketing Lawyers have been priceless. I read the reviews and approached them. From the outset they have been extremely helpful, going above and beyond my expectations. Not only do they have abundant knowledge in their specialist field, but they are friendly and extremely diligent and efficient. The process is not an easy one and where I was initially tempted to make the application myself, I am so happy that I chose to pass it onto complete professionals who are worth every penny.”

Manjinder Kang

Solicitor

I have worked closely with Ben over a number of years to develop and market niche new practice areas and specialisms within the law. Ben is an absolutely outstanding marketer and in particular his knowledge of and expertise in digital marketing is second to none… This led directly to an increase in new enquiries and instructions… This created a “snowball effect” in which those instructions increased our expertise in the field and, as a consequence, our ability to market ourselves and receive further enquiries and instructions. I would not hesitate to recommend Ben to anyone.

Gary B

Solicitor, Director

I cannot recommend Ben highly enough. Professional at all times. . . he has been a huge success and made a significant difference to his current firm.

Maria

Law Firm Owner

Ben took part in a business panel at our 2017 Lawshare Conference- Making it Work. . . Ben really impressed the audience with his knowledge of the legal market and was able to pass on practical tips on growing a law firm through marketing. Ben came across as very personable and knowledgeable with a clear passion for what he does! We had excellent feedback from the event and especially Ben’s words of advice.

Caroline

Senior Associate Solicitor

I have worked with Ben professionally for a number of years. He is an extremely talented marketing director with a very broad and deep expertise in all aspects of law firm marketing. His knowledge of online-marketing in particular is second-to-none. I know of few other people as hard-working and dedicated as Ben is. I strongly recommend him for his knowledge, expertise and experience.
