St Philips Chambers

Crime & Regulatory

Ryan Hodgins joined St Philips Chambers as a pupil in October 2020 under the supervision of Tom Walkling and accepted tenancy a year later undertaking his own work in all areas of crime and regulatory law. He has a no-nonsense but friendly approach and has the ability to represent clients in all types of proceedings.

Ryan is instructed by both prosecution and defence. His developing criminal practice has exposed him to a variety of cases at an early stage, including those involving serious violence, drugs and motoring offences. He welcomes instructions in all of these areas.

Before coming to the bar, Ryan worked as a Legal Advisor at a leading national law firm and therefore brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to his clients that goes beyond his recent year of call. He has experience in working with clients that have vulnerabilities with regards to mental health and wellbeing.
