Practice Areas
Nick has over 20 years of criminal law experience focussed on international, high-profile and sensitive matters. Before joining the firm, Nick was Head of Special Crime at the Crown Prosecution Service, overseeing the most complex casework in the CPS including corporate manslaughter, election fraud, police corruption, medical manslaughter and deaths in police custody. Prior to that, Nick held the three most senior international prosecution posts: Head of Extradition; Head of the UK Central Authority for Mutual Legal Assistance; and liaison prosecutor in Washington DC, where he worked closely with the Department of Justice on UK/US investigations.
Nick now applies his unique insight and expertise on behalf of clients across the full range of business and general crime. He acts for individuals in high-profile extradition, INTERPOL Red Notice and mutual legal assistance cases, as well as fraud, money laundering, export controls and related offences. Nick also represents clients accused of sexual offences, especially in connection with their employment. Nick’s advice is routinely sought by individuals and corporations looking to bring or defend private prosecutions and, since January 2020, he has been representing the Post Office in the largest series of criminal appeals in UK legal history.
