Examples of our work:

• We act for politicians, government advisors, actors and media personalities, professional sportsmen and women, musicians and DJs, journalists and Editors, professionals and city Traders. They all have a reputation and their rights to protect
• Assisted BBC 2 DJ, Paul Gambaccini, to effect a change in the law and to introduce pre-charge bail time limits and suspect anonymity for those who are never charged.  Kate’s submissions to the Home Affairs Select Committee were adopted and became part of the Queen’s Speech. We recognise how reputation and crisis management does not just require legal assistance, but also a longer-term strategy and an alternative narrative for the media to adopt
• Tamsin Allen acted for James Rhodes in his successful attempt to publish his book and for hundreds of asylum seekers including victims of trafficking or who have been awarded damages by the court after their personal and confidential data was inadvertently disclosed by the Home Office

Kate Goold is a professional and exceptional person who helped me navigate my year of horror on police bail. I could not have had a better lawyer.

Bindmans LLP Client – Paul Gambaccini

Tamsin, I cannot thank you enough for all you’ve done. It is appreciated more than you’ll ever know.

Bindmans LLP Client – James Rhodes

I cannot adequately express my good fortune in finding Kate Goold and Bindmans. Kate, and the firm around her, treated me with dignity and friendship; qualities that permitted me to survive the devastation of my public and private lives. Kate’s legal work was of the highest standard. She does not only work hard, she works smart. She understands strategy and has unfailing good judgement. She never left my side and was, always available herself. I truly believe that Kate is one of the great criminal solicitors in the UK and I owe her a debt of gratitude as much for her empathy as for her staggering competency.

Bindmans LLP Client – D Richard

My reputation and indeed life was restored thanks to the dogged determination of my lawyer [Jules Carey] who forensically dissected the false allegations about me and settled for nothing less than my complete exoneration
