6KBW College Hill > The Legal 500 Rankings

Crime Tier 1

‘A first class top-quality set‘ with ‘strength at all levels from junior to QC‘, 6KBW College Hill is highly regarded for its established track record in prosecution work. Alison Morgan QC and Ben Lloyd appeared for the prosecution in R v Khairi Saadallah, in which the defendant was sentenced to a whole life order – one of the first to be issued since the resumption of jury trials  – after being convicted of the murder of three men and the attempted murder of three more in a Reading park in June 2020. In another high-profile case, Duncan Atkinson QC successfully prosecuted Mohiussunnath Chowdhury and his sister Sneha Chowdhury for preparing acts of terrorism; Mohiussunnath had formerly been convicted of an act of terrorism after he attacked police officers with a samurai sword in front of Buckingham Palace in 2017. In recent news, Dan Pawson-Pounds moved to Walnut House on the Western circuit, and Sarah Whitehouse QC (as was) has been appointed to the circuit bench.
