Joe Bird

Red Lion Chambers, South East

Position

Joe maintains a busy, solid practice, both alone and as led junior, prosecuting and defending across the full range of criminal offences.

Joe’s practice is predominantly in the Crown Court but he also maintains a Magistrates’ and Youth Court practice, delivering effective advocacy in those fast-paced jurisdictions. Joe is a Grade 3 prosecutor and a RASSO panel advocate.

He brings focused preparation, robust advocacy, a down to earth approach and sensitive interpersonal skills to all his cases.

In April 2015, he moved to independent practice at Red Lion Chambers after a successful two-and-a-half years with the CPS, where he gained experience and skills that continue to serve him today.

Based in Red Lion Chambers’ Chelmsford Annexe, Joe regularly appears across East Anglia, but also accepts instructions in London and nationally.
