Harrison commenced his pupillage at 187 Chambers in September 2026.

Before joining Chambers, Harrison worked as a paralegal at a specialist criminal defence firm, where he gained experience across a broad range of Magistrates’ Court and Crown Court proceedings. His caseload included matters involving serious violence, serious sexual offences, drugs, fraud and driving offences.

Prior to this, Harrison worked as a Deputy Team Leader with the Witness Service at the Central Criminal Court. In this role, he gained insight into the practical and personal challenges faced by witnesses giving evidence, as well as the importance of supporting individuals through the criminal justice process.

Harrison also spent three years as a County Court advocate, during which he appeared in over 300 hearings and trials, giving him both foundational advocacy experience and an understanding of courtroom practice.

Harrison studied Archaeology at the University of Bristol before completing the Graduate Diploma in Law.
