"Discretion. Expertise. Results."

When the stakes are highest, Vajahat Sharif is the advocate you want standing beside you.

​

With over two decades of experience in criminal law, Vajahat has defended clients in some of the UK’s most complex and high-profile cases — from serious crime and fraud to terrorism and ideological offences. His track record speaks for itself: hundreds of serious crime cases defended, a proven success rate in Crown Court defences, and a reputation for being three steps ahead in the courtroom.

​

Known for his strategic precision and unflinching composure, Vajahat approaches every case like a grandmaster — analysing angles, anticipating moves, and dismantling opposition arguments with surgical clarity. It’s why he has been trusted to represent clients in matters that have drawn national headlines, and why his commentary has appeared on Sky News, BBC, The Times, and The Guardian.

​

But Vajahat’s reputation extends beyond his sharp courtroom advocacy. Clients value his human touch: his ability to cut through the fear and confusion of a criminal charge, to explain the road ahead, and to inspire confidence when the system feels overwhelming.

​

In a justice system where:

• 67,284 cases backlog the Crown Court,

• 25% of trials collapse due to delays, and

• terrorism arrests are at a five-year high,

— every detail matters. And so does your choice of counsel.

​

At Clearly Legal, Vajahat offers his expertise on a by-appointment-only basis, ensuring each client receives exclusive, tailored attention. Discreet, relentless, and deeply experienced, he is not just a lawyer — he is your strategist, your shield, and your strongest chance at freedom.
