Matthew Cullen
Work Department
Crime & Regulatory
Position
Matthew Cullen has quickly developed a strong criminal and regulatory practice. He has already obtained a reputation for his attention to detail and his thorough preparation in all of his cases – irrespective of the type of hearing he is required to attend.
Matthew’s criminal practice exposes him to a variety of criminal offences and cases beyond his year of call. He is instructed on behalf of both the defence and the prosecution (Grade 2), and he regularly appears in Crown Courts, Magistrates Courts and Youth Courts across the country. In addition to the busy trial practice which Matthew has built, he also advises on plea, sentence, confiscation and appeal if needed. Frequent areas of instruction include drugs and serious violence.
As part of his regulatory practice, Matthew receives instructions in a variety of areas including taxi licensing, trading standards, health and safety, food hygiene and environmental matters. He has gathered substantial experience in dealing with illicit tobacco prosecutions and offences/appeals under the Housing Act. Matthew continues to appear before a variety of tribunals, including the First Tier Property Tribunal and Mental Health Tribunals, and has also had recent success in the Coroner’s Court.
