Joshua specialises in employment and discrimination law, clinical negligence, personal injury and public law. The nature of his practice allows him to deploy his experience in complex areas that overlap. He has extensive experience of both multi-day trials and appellate work. He is ranked as a tier 1 Rising Star in the Legal 500 2024.

In addition, Joshua has a busy inquest practice and is currently instructed in two public inquiries. He acts on behalf of Core Participants in both the UK Covid-19 Inquiry and in the recently announced Independent Inquiry Relating to Afghanistan.

Joshua often advises and represents on appeal and in relation to judicial reviews. In June 2023 he appeared as second junior for the Appellant before the Court of Appeal in RN v CICA. He is currently instructed in a range of matters as sole counsel in the High Court, the Employment Appeal Tribunal and Upper Tribunal (Administrative Appeals Chamber) and has appeared successfully in each.

Thanks to past criminal and regulatory law experience Joshua is also adept at working as part of teams of counsel in complex and high-profile transnational litigation. For example, he has worked on document-heavy offshore matters and national security-related litigation involving international law and welcomes such instructions.

Joshua was recently appointed to the Attorney-General’s London C Panel of Counsel (term commencing 1 September 2023). He has also obtained Security Clearance (UKSV).

Prior to studying for his LLB, Joshua was a semi-professional cyclist. This saw him race at national and international level in the UK, France and Belgium.
