Job description

Tuckers Solicitors is growing — and we are looking for ambitious criminal defence lawyers to join us.

Established in 1984 and recognised by Chambers & Partners, The Legal 500 and Spears 500, Tuckers is one of the UK’s leading criminal defence firms.

As we continue our growth, we are looking to strengthen our London team with talented criminal defence solicitors at all levels — from NQ Solicitors through to Senior Solicitors, Supervisors, Duty Solicitors and Consultants.

Who are we looking for?

We are particularly interested in hearing from lawyers with experience in:

• White Collar Crime
• Regulatory & Investigations
• Duty Solicitor work
• Advocacy and Magistrates'/Crown Court work

Whether you are looking to develop your advocacy, handle higher-value and more complex matters, move into private/white-collar work, or take the next step into leadership, we would like to hear from you.

More than just another role

We are building a firm for ambitious lawyers who want to be part of something bigger.

Tuckers is investing in people, technology, infrastructure and regional growth, creating opportunities for lawyers who want to develop their careers and play a meaningful role in the future direction of the firm.

For the right individual, there are also opportunities to develop and lead teams, take on greater responsibility and potentially help build new regional operations, with the full infrastructure of an established national firm behind you.

What we can offer

• Bonus and overtime opportunities
• Full-time and part-time opportunities
• Legal Aid and private client work
• National career opportunities
• Genuine progression and leadership opportunities
• The backing, systems and infrastructure of an established national firm

Our state-of-the-art case management systems and national infrastructure allow our lawyers to focus on what matters most — excellent advocacy, client care and delivering the best possible defence for our clients.

What we are looking for

• Qualified Solicitor with relevant criminal defence experience
• Duty Solicitor accreditation / PSQ where applicable
• Strong advocacy, drafting and client-care skills
• Commercial awareness and a commitment to excellent client service
• Ambition to develop and progress
