(Leading Silks)Ranked: Tier 2Eloise Marshall KC – 23ES ‘Eloise is a top silk with the full skill set required of a barrister. She is a formidable cross-examiner, focusing questions on the relevant issues and relentlessly pursuing her point, though she can also deal with issues with a light touch when necessary. Her ability to adapt her style and approach to what is required in the case is brilliant. Her closing speeches are extremely engaging and persuasive.’

23ES is ‘a superb set with great strength in depth and a wide choice of proactive counsel’ who handle some of the most complex, high-profile and serious criminal cases. Kate Lumsdon KC is known for her ‘calm, controlled and thoughtful approach’ and successfully represented one of the defendants charged with the murder of a taxi driver, while ‘highly intelligent’ Eloise Marshall KC led the successful prosecution of Lawrence Jones, founder of technology company UKFast, who was convicted of drugging, raping and assaulting several women. Alan Gardner KC is a ‘calm and measured advocate praised for his strategy and questioning’ and successfully prosecuted two men who were convicted of sexual offences committed as part of a grooming gang in the early 2000s. James Bloomer KC represented a man who was acquitted of the most serious charges and avoided a custodial sentenced after being accused of involvement in the running of a gun factory – the case involved issues of the defendant, who was blind and unable to read braille, being able to participate in a trial with significant amounts of cell site evidence.
