Libertas Chambers ‘is a growing set with a number of leading barristers’, with particular strength in depth when it comes to senior juniors. Adam Kane KC specialises in homicide defence – he recently represented Mohammed Patel, accused alongside TikTok personality Mahek Bukhari and her mother of the murder of the mother’s lover and his friend by way of ramming their car off the road during a high-speed chase on a dual carriageway near Leicester; Patel was ultimately found not guilty of both murder and manslaughter, while Bukhari and her mother were sentenced to life imprisonment with minumum terms of 31 years and 26 years respectively. Felicity Gerry KC is a ‘very sound academic lawyer who takes interesting and novel legal points’ – she recently defended a man charged with the joint enterprise murder by stabbing near Waterloo Station, submitting to the judge that it is not possible to convict accessories when the principal is acquitted on the basis of self-defence.
