Areas of Law

Adam's practice consists predominantly of criminal defence in serious matters. He has often acted as a leading junior, and regularly appears in the Court of Appeal. He has been instructed in murders, rapes, kidnaps, people trafficking, frauds, money laundering, drugs conspiracies, firearms matters, serious violence and road traffic fatalities. He is able to undertake direct access work, and also prosecutes.
