Drystone Chambers

John McNally has had a broad common law practice and has appeared in matters as varied as a civil ‘rape trial’ to EC law on the rights of free movement and education for workers. This breadth of experience has been sought by solicitors when they need Counsel who can deal with cases involving matters as esoteric as donatio mortis causa or secret trusts.

In recent years John has had a broad spectrum of Criminal work (including Trading Standards and Environmental Law) but also undertakes matters involving Regulatory and Public Law. He has advised or appeared in matters concerning the General Medical Council, the Hearing Aid Council and the GCC as well as in relation to Coronial Inquisitions.

He is a Grade 4 approved Prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service.
