Gurdit Singh joins Chambers following the successful completion of his pupillage with the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).

During his time at the CPS, Gurdit gained experience prosecuting a varied mix of Crown Court and Magistrates’ Court work. He regularly prosecuted trial lists at the Magistrates Court’ and had exposure to cases concerning weapons, drugs, domestic abuse, motoring offences and violence.

Gurdit was also seconded to the Attorney General’s Office where he drafted advisory briefs to the Law Officers regarding cases that had been referred as being unduly lenient.

Gurdit is now looking to develop a mixed practice, and welcomes instructions to act on behalf of both the prosecution and defence.

Away from work, Gurdit is a keen Manchester United fan often attending games as a season ticketholder. He also enjoys boxing training having competed when he was younger.

Notable cases:

R v Hannan [2023] EWCA Crim 941 - Advised the Solicitor General that the sentence imposed in a case of manslaughter was unduly lenient. Case was then considered at the Court of Appeal, with the initial sentence being quashed and a new extended sentence imposed.
