Hannah sampson
"My philosophy is that everyone has the right to representation and a fair trial."
I’ve worked in some of London’s top law firms since I qualified as a solicitor in 2002.
From fraud to terrorism, I’ve never come across a criminal defence case that I’ve refused to take on - my philosophy is that everyone has the right to representation and a fair trial.
As a defence lawyer who’s always worked in and around the City, I’ve built up a wealth of experience, connections and expertise that positions me to offer the best legal representation and advice, whatever the case.
Working with clients, my first priority is to provide reassurance and awareness of legal proceedings, however serious the charges faced.

THE STORY OF SAMPSON BAILEY
When Hannah found herself working from home and freelancing for a new law firm during the pandemic, she decided to set up her own modern, agile law firm. She had a vision of running a smaller, more personalised firm, specialising in criminal law.
Hannah wasted no time in turning her idea into a reality.
Hannah's philosophy is:
“When we need to act, we act quickly”
Which is the same principle she brings to putting clients’ needs first.
With 20 years’ experience and expertise in the legal field, Hannah has grown a law firm with an emphasis on building client relationships at its core.
Sampson Bailey provides a new level in legal service for a world that is not what it used to be.
