Leading Juniors
Leading juniors are those with significant experience of key cases, strong market recognition from both peers and clients, and are seen as future candidates for silk.
1‘Judith is a fighter when needed to be and eminently practical. If settlement can be achieved even after hard negotiations, she is the barrister to have in your camp, as clients are impressed and her advocacy is well-prepared and tactical.’
‘Stephen is a ferocious and meticulous advocate who leaves no stone unturned in preparing a case and fighting to achieve the best possible result for a client. He is persuasive and has a deep knowledge of caselaw and local judicial approach that marks him out as a sought-after senior junior on the Northern Circuit.'
1‘Archna is brilliant and really technically able, and she thoroughly prepares and puts clients and opponents at ease. She is methodical and creative in her approach to cases, clients absolutely love her and her high energy, and you cannot rate her highly enough; she is definitely one to have on your side.’
1‘Frances has many fantastic qualities; she is thorough in her preparation for conferences and court hearings, she prepares notes or position statements for cases whether they are requested or not, and she is proactive on cases and extremely personable. Whilst she may have a sensitive approach with clients, she is straight-talking and spot on with her advice, her advocacy is effortless, and she makes her submissions powerfully.’
‘Charles has become the leading junior counsel for family finance work in the North West. He is a fierce and tenacious advocate who will push matters as far as he can for clients; he’s a real fighter.’
‘Ashley is without question the most experienced senior junior matrimonial finance barrister in the North West. He always reads the papers carefully and this enables him to add immediate value to the case, and he is a calm and persuasive advocate who is well-regarded by the judiciary.’
‘Simon’s technical approach and breadth of knowledge is formidable. His background in commercial and Chancery work gives him an edge when dealing with family-related, civil-based claims and proceedings, and he is technically strong, incisive, and tenacious.’
‘Elisabeth achieves the perfect balance of technical ability and accuracy, whilst also being personable and easy to work with. She is very methodical in her submissions to the court, and clients know that she is fighting their corner.’
2‘Neil is a truly first-rate advocate. He has a non-confrontational but persuasive manner that takes the judge by the hand, leading them to his desired outcome, and this combined with his ability to predict the outcome of the case, alongside his ability to build relationships with the client, makes him one of the best juniors around.’
