KBG Chambers

Criminal Law

With increasing experience with clients with complex mental health issues and intermediary needs, Nick prides himself in putting people first often at the expense of judicial disapproval and with a modest background is able to communicate with even the most demanding and difficult clients.  Nick has also developed a very successful practice in regulatory crime, particularly involving the farming community, and has a deep understanding of POCA proceedings – in the past few years he has resisted several multi-million claims with total benefit assessments in each case in the low tens of thousands.

Nick has also shown a particular flair for analysis of phone and other forensic evidence which has proved extremely useful in the many multi-handed conspiracy cases he has had considerable success in.

Nick has considerable experience in Crown Court cases, having specialised solely in criminal law since being called.  Really since joining the Bar in Plymouth on leaving the Royal Navy in 1995, Nick has been instructed to prosecute and defend many high profile and complex cases along with cases of immense sensitivity, both with respect to the complainants and delicate public interest and policing matters.
