Tuckers has developed niche areas of expertise in Extradition Law, Military Law and Prison Law as adjuncts to its broad criminal defence practice.  Its lawyers often represent defendants abroad, including those members of the armed forces stationed in permanent bases in Cyprus and Germany, and also on operational duty in places such as Iraq and Afghanistan.

Tuckers is at the forefront of developing its technological capabilities to meet the needs of a modern criminal defence firm and, more importantly, its clients.  By centralising the diarisation and management of its network of employed solicitors, accredited representatives and consultants, it can ensure that it can allocate people to attend at Police Stations in the most efficient way possible.  This means that, where other firms are unable to represent their clients at Bail to Return appointments due to restrictions in funding – Tuckers can retain this important service to its vulnerable clients at the Police Stations, notwithstanding the pressures created by the reductions in public funding.
