# Chambers of Philip Kazantzis

Chambers of Philip Kazantzis is a defence law practice based in St Albans, offering specialist criminal and regulatory legal representation throughout England and Wales. Led by Philip Kazantzis, an experienced barrister who previously practised as a criminal defence solicitor, the chambers provides comprehensive advocacy and legal advice from investigation through to trial.

The practice primarily serves individuals and businesses facing criminal charges, regulatory investigations, and complex legal proceedings.

Professional tribunal work—including General Medical Council and police disciplinary cases—demonstrates breadth of expertise beyond criminal courts. The practice emphasises early legal intervention, recognising that prompt advice significantly influences case outcomes. Confidentiality, accuracy and professional service form the foundation of client relationships.
