Park Square Barristers Ltd.

Criminal

Julian is a specialist in serious and complex crime. He is instructed for the prosecution and defence in approximately equal proportions. He appears as leading junior counsel, sole counsel, and is led by Queen’s Counsel.

Julian has experience of very substantial width and depth in trial advocacy, appellate advocacy, the giving of advice and case management.

He brings very thorough preparation and a firm grip on case management to every case he undertakes.

Julian is fully committed to giving every case the best he possibly can and those who instruct him know their case is in trusted hands. In the current resource stripped climate he will “go the extra mile” and do whatever he personally can for CPS or SFO Lawyers, Paralegal Officers and Defence Solicitors so as to make a case ready for hearing.

He takes great pride in client care, whether it be working with senior prosecution lawyers and police officers on prosecution strategy, or fulfilling the pastoral side of the job with a vulnerable defence client.

Julian is firmly committed to a mixed practice of both defending and prosecuting and believes experience on each side has helped him on the other.

His experience includes cases involving abuse of process, judicial review, confiscation, PII, notification hearings, RIPA/IPA, witness anonymity, third party disclosure, police texts, fitness to plead.

He has a particular interest and expertise in disclosure and has recently lectured to a leading Legal 500 criminal defence firm (Lloyds PR) and to senior Metropolitan Police Service detectives on this topic.

Julian also has experience in the burgeoning area of private prosecutions and is instructed by a boutique firm in this area.
