Criminal

Wayne Jackson is an established criminal law practitioner. In addition to a particularly strong fraud practice, he has also amassed considerable experience in defending all manner of offences of a serious sexual nature, offences of serious violence and large scale drugs importation conspiracies. He has been junior counsel in numerous murder cases and successfully defended his first manslaughter case as a junior, alone, in 1989. IT fraud is an area of long standing interest and expertise, and Wayne prides himself on keeping up to date with the latest digital technology.

His work often involves a detailed critical assessment of digitally stored information followed by an appraisal of that evidence against the background of the case itself. Great care has to be taken in the meticulous examination of such evidence, as there are often many tens, if not hundreds of thousands of pages of information to consider.

While Wayne has, on occasions, been led in fraud cases but more often than not he is leading junior counsel.

He relishes the challenge of tackling cases of a complex and technical nature, and has a wealth of experience in the preparation and defence of cases such as large scale car ringing operations. He has also been involved in defending a number of very large Trading Standards prosecutions and has significant experience in working on high cost cases.
