(Leading Silks)Ranked: Tier 3Stan Reiz KC – 2 Bedford Row ‘Stan’s analytical brain allows him to dissect evidence and turn a prosecution’s case on its head. He is then able to break this down in front of a jury so that they are persuaded that his way is the right way. This together with his superb advocacy ensures a defendant’s best chance of success each time.’
2 Bedford Row remains a ‘premier’ set for high-profile defence and prosecution work. Jim Sturman KC represented former police officer Wayne Couzens, who entered a guilty plea to the rape and murder of Sarah Everard, in his appeal against sentence, which involved issues as to if an individual who pleaded guilty could receive a whole-life tariff, among other questions about the most serious murder tariffs. Stan Reiz KC recently acted for a Liverpool man charged with the attempted murder of a man (his original target) and a schoolgirl in a cycle-by shooting – the defendant was convicted of attempted murder of the man, but acquitted of attempted murder of the girl on the basis that the doctrine of transferred malice does not apply to attempted murder. Turning to prosecution work, Jacqueline Carey KC successfully prosecuted former reality television personality Stephen Bear, who received a 21-month prison sentence for sexual offences including selling secretly filmed footage of him having sex with his ex-partner, a former Love Island contestant, on OnlyFans. Mark Milliken-Smith KC, as was, was appointed as a Circuit Judge in December 2023.
