Julian Goode—Exchange Chambers

Criminal barrister joins chambers

Exchange Chambers has strengthened its criminal department in Manchester with the arrival of criminal barrister Julian Goode.

Julian, who was called to the Bar in 2006, joins Exchange Chambers from St Johns Buildings. His practice involves both prosecution and defence work including fraud, sexual assaults, dishonesty, proceeds of crime, drugs and violence. He also has extensive knowledge of road traffic matters. In addition, Julian regularly appears for the Department of Work and Pensions, prosecuting benefit fraud cases and represents police officers in misconduct matters.

Julian says: “Exchange Chambers is widely recognised as the leading criminal set in the North and I am looking forward to further developing my practice at such a forward-thinking Chambers.”

Director of chambers, Tom Handley, says: “Julian’s arrival further strengthens our criminal team which now has over 70 members defending and prosecuting at all levels. We are delighted to welcome him to Chambers.”
