Julian Jones

Practice Areas

Julian has experience of very substantial width and depth in trial advocacy, appellate advocacy and advisory work. He brings very thorough preparation and a firm grip on case management to every case he undertakes.

Julian is fully committed to giving every case the best he possibly can and those who instruct him know their case is in trusted hands. In the current resource stripped climate he will “go the extra mile” and do whatever he personally can for Prosecution Lawyers, Paralegal Officers and Defence Solicitors so as to make a case ready for hearing.

He takes great pride in client care, whether it be working with senior prosecution lawyers and police officers on prosecution strategy, or fulfilling the pastoral side of the job with a vulnerable defence client.

Julian is firmly committed to a mixed practice of both defending and prosecuting and believes experience on each side has helped him on the other.

His experience includes cases involving abuse of process, judicial review, confiscation, PII, notification hearings, RIPA/IPA, witness anonymity, third party disclosure, police texts, fitness to plead.

He has a particular interest and expertise in disclosure and has lectured to leading solicitors and senior police officers on this topic.

Recent cases include defending as led junior a lady who strangled her five year old daughter to death (plea of guilty to manslaughter by diminished responsibility), defending as leading junior in a massive conspiracy to produce cannabis, and prosecuting as leading junior in an 11 handed case of gang violence.
