Vasanti Vaitha

Having completed the legal practice course at the University of Sheffield, I joined Smith Partnership as a Paralegal in 2001. I went on to complete my training contract with the firm and I qualified as a solicitor in 2004.

I was made an Associate in 2009 and have since successfully qualified as a Higher Court Advocate in both criminal and civil advocacy.

I am police station accredited as well as being a member of the duty solicitor scheme.

I specialise in criminal law and I head up our Crown Court team in Leicester. I appear regularly at the Crown Court and my case load includes a variety of serious matters including violent crime, sexual offences, robbery, drug offences and fraud.

I am also a member of the Society of Asian Lawyers.
