Kevin Light Profile

Kevin Light profile

Kevin Light is a founding Partner and current Director of Bishop and Light Solicitors.

He has over 30 years experience defending cases at the Police Station and in Criminal Courts.

Kevin has had Higher Rights of Audience for over 10 years and regularly appears in the Crown Court and Court of Appeal (Criminal) Division.

Kevin has a particular interest in and skill in cases of complex fraud, conspiracy and confiscation proceedings.

He has taken two seminal cases to the House of Lords (now Supreme Court).

R v Preddy, [1996] AC 815 led to a change in the law in respect of cases of mortgage fraud.

R v Saik, [2007] 1 AC 18 clarified the law on the intent required to convict in a case of conspiracy to money launder.

In another case R v Olden, EWCA, Crim, 2007, 726 Kevin, along with Ivan Krolik of Counsel, successfully argued that the Defendant's interview should have been excluded from evidence and the Court of Appeal quashed multiple convictions of Mortgage fraud.

These cases are a source of professional pride but more importantly led to the clients' convictions being quashed.

Kevin regularly accepts instructions from across the UK in cases of fraud, money laundering and confiscation.

Complaints

We want to give you the best possible service. However, if at any point you become unhappy or concerned about the service, we have provided then you should inform us immediately, so that we can do our best to resolve the problem.

In the first instance it may be helpful to contact the person who is working on your case to discuss your concerns and we will do our best to resolve any issues. If you would like to make a formal complaint, then you can read our full complaints procedure here.

Making a complaint will not affect how we handle your case.

What to do if we cannot resolve your complaint

The Legal Ombudsman can help you if we are unable to resolve your complaint ourselves. They will look at your complaint independently and it will not affect how we handle your case.

Before accepting a complaint for investigation, the Legal Ombudsman will check that you have tried to resolve your complaint with us first. If you have, then you must take your complaint to the Legal Ombudsman:

A change to the time limits from 1 April 2023, the time limits for referring a complaint to the Legal Ombudsman will be no later than:

• one year from the date of the act or omission being complained about; or

• one year from the date when the complainant should have realised that there was cause for complaint.

If you would like more information about the Legal Ombudsman, please contact them.
