Andrew Vout KC
Castle Gate Chambers
‘Andrew is an advocate whose grace belies his steel – he is often disarming and always forensically powerful. When the judiciary and opponents respect an advocate, such as Andrew, that individual gives a real added value to the presentation of a case – especially the difficult ones. Although relatively junior in silk, he already stands ahead of many of his peers in the front row.’
