Steve practices
in all areas of Criminal Law both prosecution and
defence from driving matters in the Magistrates Court to
appeals before the Court of Appeal.
Although the
majority of his practice is in London he has and
continues to appear in cases in various parts of the
country. He is currently being led in a high profile
Murder case and is the leading junior counsel in a large
scale fraud involving 15 defendants.
Steve has
defended in Murder, serious sexual offences, large scale
public order and drug importation trials. He has
prosecuted in a wide variety of cases up to a level just
below QC including both armed robbery and rape cases.
Steve’s notable
cases include being led in the first ever people
trafficking trial in the U.K (this involved a Triad
gang).
Acting alone in
the largest ever riot case involving immigration
detainees (at Campsfield Detention Centre in Oxford).
Steve replaced a
QC at short notice in a Rape case (the defendant was
acquitted)
Steve was led
last year in the largest police investigation in Bristol
and the South West for the last 15 years (according to
the evidence of the Officer in the case) which involved
9 defendants charged with conspiracy to Murder pursuant
to a contract killing.
Acting alone for
one of two defendants who set up Britain’s biggest fake
passport factory (again quoting the officer in the case,
although admittedly this time in The Daily Mail so he
may have got carried away)
Steve is happy
to give lectures as part of the 7 Bell Yard lecture
programme which can be organised through the clerk’s
room. |
