In the late 19th century, the then fledgling firm of Marten Walsh Cherer was selected to cover the Tichborne Claimant trial that gripped Victorian society with a sensational inheritance dispute, as a man boldly asserted his claim to the Tichborne baronetcy, believed lost at sea. Running from 1871 to 1874, it was among the longest trials in English legal history and raised profound questions about identity, class, and social prejudice, ultimately culminating in the claimant’s conviction for perjury.

In the 1960s, we were entrusted with documenting one of Britain’s most notorious criminal cases—the Great Train Robbery trial, which ran for over six weeks and was among the longest trials of its era. Our reporters meticulously recorded every testimony and legal argument, ensuring a precise account of this landmark proceeding in British legal history.

In the 1970s, we covered the highly publicised Birmingham Six trial, which saw six men controversially convicted in 1974, igniting a national debate over police conduct and the reliability of forensic evidence. It became one of Britain’s most infamous miscarriages of justice, with the protracted proceedings drawing intense public scrutiny and ultimately reshaping discussions around fair trials
In 2006, we covered the closely watched Da Vinci Code trial in the UK that saw Dan Brown face a plagiarism lawsuit brought by authors of Holy Blood, Holy Grail. The claim centered on his alleged use of their historical research, prompting debates over how fact and fiction interlace in literature. Ultimately, the court sided with Brown, highlighting the complexities surrounding copyright law and creative inspiration.
