Adam Rasul
CEO
Adam is a Solicitor-Advocate with a unique CV that sets the bar higher than most criminal lawyers worldwide.
Adam was one of the youngest lawyers in law society history to establish a law firm within the first year of being newly qualified as a solicitor. He had to present/argue his case to open a law firm (earlier than the 36 month prescribed period) to the Law Society. As a result of presenting his ideas on pioneering pre charge and pro active criminal defence, the law society passed a waiver to permit him to have his own practice before the three year period. His opening of a law firm was supported by Judges, Managing Partners and references from worldwide entrepreneurs.
He has now been running Holborn Adams exclusively for ten years. That is a decade in strict private practice only and pre charge defence.
He has extensive worldwide international criminal defence experience in over 42 countries.

Adam has secured landmark results for clients, earning him a reputation of excellence amongst his legal peers and beyond. This being covered in the worlds media.
In addition, Adam acts as a Personal Lawyer to a number of world-renowned sports stars, celebrities and UHNW individuals as ‘their fixer.’
In the last ten years Adam has been acting for companies and individuals worth billions to be their personal lawyer. Acting to preserve their interests and known as the ‘muscle’ in high level disputes, negotiations and legal presence.
