I also teach Trial Advocacy and Conference Skills on the Bar Training Course. 

I graduated from the University of Westminster in 2000 and trained as a solicitor with leading London criminal defence firm, Sonn Macmillan Walker qualifiying in 2004. I continued to practise as a Criminal Defence Solicitor, conducting cases at the most serious level, until 2020.
