At Shentons, we specialize in defending allegations relating to Modern Slavery. Our experienced team works closely with our clients, they families and experts to ensure that the court understands their circumstances and prevents unjust criminalization.
Meet the Crime legal team
At Shentons, we have extensive experience in defending allegations relating to Modern Slavery. In these cases, we are often instructed by a young person’s parents or carer. The young person has been charged with a serious crime and the parent or carer knows that something does not add up.
We work with the young person and Modern Slavery experts to ascertain whether they are being exploited. Often the young person will deny this is happening to them because they have been groomed or they are in fear. Modern Slavery can be used as a defence in a variety of crimes, including but not limited to; Possession with intent to supply drugs, Conspiracy to supply drugs and Possession of an offensive weapon.
If they are being exploited it is vital that the Court hears about this, so they are not criminalised unjustly.

2 months agoMichelle and team at Shentons were brilliant at handling our property purchase. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again or recommend them. The quality of work and service was excellent, Michelle is on the ball and responsive to emails, she pushed the other side and made sure we were comfortable and informed at every step. Despite being thrown some curve balls Michelle remained calm, and dealt with all of them in an efficient but thorough manner. From quote to completion everything her and her team did was excellent, and in line with the estimate given which for first time buyers allowed us to budget without fear of massive final bill. It’s nice to know what you are getting into. And finally to top it off they are all lovely approachable people that I wouldn’t hesitate to trust with such a big purchase or sale going forward. If you want the job done properly I wouldn’t use any other firm.Posted on Google

10 months agoMy whole experience of Rachel and Chloe representing me, guiding myself through a very stressful court process was second to none. They are highly professional, highly experienced in their field and gave solid, clear advice. I can't recommend them and Shenton's enough. Thank you. - PPosted on Google
