Drill
Music
Drill music has become one of the most popular and successful genre in music. It has attracted avid listeners across the globe, and the UK has produced some of the finest and most well-known artists.
MTC Solicitors have not only been representing drill artists accused of crimes, but have also been leading the challenge and debate of the use of drill lyrics in prosecutions as evidence, combating Criminal Behaviour Orders and challenging police methods of handling drill lyrics.
​
We successfully hosted one of the country's first legal conference on the use of drill music lyrics and its implications in court, as a law firm. As a result, we are not only on the forefront as experts on handling drill artists in criminal cases, but also have in-depth experience in tackling the challenges to young music artists.
We are at the forefront of defending drill and grime artists.
