Abhinav Mohindru

CJCH Solicitors, the trading name of CJCH Legal Ltd, is a long-established Welsh law firm with its main office in Cardiff and a network of offices across Wales and into England. The firm has been named Criminal Law Firm of the Year in Wales at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025, an accolade that recognises the strength of its criminal and regulatory defence work. Abhinav Mohindru serves as Head of Crime, leading the team responsible for the practice honoured by the award.

The firm traces its roots back more than three decades, growing through organic expansion and a merger between two established local practices to become a modern, full-service firm. It describes itself as a practice that delivers customised solutions and dedicated service, and it operates from a spread of locations including Cardiff, Barry, Blackwood, Bridgend, Caerphilly and Swansea, giving it a genuinely regional footprint across South Wales and the surrounding area.

Criminal law is a central pillar of the firm's offering. The team acts in criminal and regulatory defence matters, representing clients whose circumstances demand both technical rigour and a steady, reassuring hand. This is work in which outcomes carry serious personal consequences, and the firm's approach is built around a commitment to securing the best possible result for each client while providing clear guidance through what can be a daunting process. The practice has been extending its criminal and regulatory defence service further into Swansea and the South West, reflecting confidence in this part of its business.

Around the criminal team, CJCH offers a wide range of personal and business legal services, including residential property and conveyancing, wills, probate and estate administration, family law, litigation and dispute resolution, commercial law, employment law and debt recovery. This breadth means clients can be supported across connected legal needs, with the criminal defence practice sitting within a firm equipped to handle the wider matters that individuals and businesses encounter.

As Head of Crime, Abhinav Mohindru leads a team that the award singles out for its commitment to providing high-quality legal services and achieving strong outcomes for clients. The recognition as Criminal Law Firm of the Year in Wales at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025 reflects both the standing CJCH has built over its long history and the continued investment it is making in its criminal defence capability across Wales, marking it out as a leading choice for those facing criminal and regulatory proceedings in the region.
