Hutton’s is one of the oldest litigation firms in Wales and acts for a wide variety of clients. Having initially built a strong criminal litigation practice the firm found that more often than not there was a corresponding civil matter which also required addressing, as such with a view to ensuring continuity of advice and conduct the firm used the skills learnt in its criminal litigation to develop a complimentary civil practice, which has now been operating for over 20 years.
