He acts for young people accused of serious criminal offences and has advised several high profile individuals and employers on #MeToo related matters. He is an expert in police station representation as well criminal investigations conducted by the SFO and other agencies. He combines his practice with authorship – having co-authored various practitioners’ books on police station law and procedure.
  • Stacey Nevin—Stacey works in the Family & Divorce team. She advises UK and international clients on all aspects of family law, including complex financial issues on divorce and private children cases.

They have each made excellent contributions to their respective practice areas and are well regarded by their clients and colleagues.
