Lansbury Worthington is one of only a handful of firms to be awarded five separate criminal legal aid contracts to provide advice, assistance and representation to clients in the Central & West London areas.

This means that Lansbury Worthington is one of a very limited number of firms authorised to advise and assist anyone arrested for a criminal offence across the Central and West London areas, and to provide a specialist Criminal Duty Solicitor at the police station and court.

Over 1,500 firms applied for only 572 contracts nationally. The award of a contract to Lansbury Worthington acknowledges over 15 years of us providing a quality criminal defence services and reinforces our strong commitment to assisting all those who face the challenges of the criminal justice system.

Ben Lansbury, head of Lansbury Worthington's Magistrates' Court Crime Team said:  "By awarding a Duty Contract to Lansbury Worthington, this is a recognition by the Legal Aid Agency of our established and quality service which we provide to all our clients. The new contracts give us an opportunity to provide our specialist and dedicated service to a greater number of people under the terms of the new Contract, and we are looking forward to the challenges which this award will bring".
