Exchange Chambers, North West

Work Department

Criminal; Regulatory

Position

Michael has been instructed in major heavyweight criminal cases for over twenty years, though in recent years his practice has gravitated to regulatory, private client and defendant insured work.

His involvement in a number of notorious cases, including those from the Strangeways riots of the early 90’s, countless ‘Gunchester’ murder trials, to the defence of the infamous serial killer Dale Cregan and of Thomas Mair, the killer of MP Jo Cox, has given him a wealth of experience of advocacy at the sharp end, which he now deploys in defending companies faced with inquests and prosecutions. He has led for the defence and the Crown in countless cases.

Highly sought after for his regulatory work, Michael’s practice encompasses food safety, health and safety (defence and prosecutions), police and prison officer disciplinary hearings and Inquests.
