Criminal Law

Details

I am regularly instructed as defence counsel and have conducted trials in the High Court and in Sheriff Courts throughout Scotland. I have also been instructed in the High Court as junior to leader.

Since calling to the Bar I have been involved in trials covering a diverse range of criminal offences, including fraud and embezzlement, assaults, sexual offences, road traffic offences, charges under the Domestic Abuse (Scotland) Act 2018 and drugs offences. I have advised in relation to the nobile officium of the High Court.

I am also available for instruction on behalf of third parties in relation to applications under section 301A, particularly where Article 8/privacy rights are engaged.
