Our pre-charge engagement lawyers are dedicated to safeguarding your rights, guiding you through police interviews, and ensuring you understand the legal process. By the Attorney General's Guidelines, our team engages in pre-charge discussions to challenge the evidence, present mitigating factors, and negotiate with the police and CPS to prevent or reduce the severity of any proposed charges.

How Do We Aim To Prevent Charges?
We are regularly instructed to represent those under investigation by police forces throughout London. The police are required to conduct impartial investigations into all complaints and thoroughly examine alleged criminal offences. Whether you are charged with an offence is typically decided by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), the body responsible for reviewing the evidence gathered during the police investigation. The CPS follows a two-stage test to determine whether charges should be brought:
• The Evidential Stage – Is there sufficient evidence to present to a jury that could lead to a conviction?
• The Public Interest Stage – Is prosecuting the suspect in the public interest?
Both criteria must be satisfied before a suspect can be charged. However, there are situations where it can be argued that one or both stages still need to be adequately met, which can prevent charges from being filed.
During the police investigation and the critical pre-charge engagement process, it is uncommon for the CPS to hear from defence solicitors. However, at Eventum Legal, we understand the importance of presenting defence and prosecution cases to the CPS to ensure a fair decision-making process. Our experienced lawyers can influence the outcome by identifying weaknesses in the prosecution’s case and effectively presenting your side of the story.
Following your police interview, our specialist criminal defence solicitors in London will engage with the police and CPS on your behalf. Our approach is tailored to each case, ensuring that we gather crucial evidence to support your defence and challenge the complainant's credibility.
We will guide you through the pre-charge engagement process, developing a strategic plan of action based on your unique circumstances to achieve the best possible outcome while navigating London’s complex legal landscape and institutions such as the Old Bailey.
