Julian Ghosh KC
One Essex Court
Julian's advocacy is always first class. He is very able and a very clear thinker. I value his ability to analyse complicated bits of legislation and apply them to tricky fact patterns whilst explaining his conclusions clearly and in an easy-to-follow manner. He is also good at forming a firm view on matters and honing in on what really matters.'
