Department responsibilities (within the firm): I am responsible for the preparation of cases in both the Magistrates’ Court and the Crown Court.

Notable cases:
GMP v S (November 2023) – Instructed privately to assist with an ongoing Proceeds of Crime Act (2002) investigation which had led to the client's bank accounts being frozen under Section 202Z1 of this act. Following detailed representations with the supportive documentary evidence and explanations i helped gather, successfully resulted in the release of over £94,000 back to the client’s account.
R v M (October 2023) – Following the drafting of a basis of plea at Bolton Crown Court I successfully assisted a caseworker in receiving a £700 fine for an Assault Occasioning Actual Bodily Harm charge in a case involving multiple co-defendants.
