In addition to giving advice and drafting pleadings and Pt35 questions to experts, he has appeared in hearings including on the multi-track.

Marc is regularly instructed by both claimants and defendants in road traffic matters, including credit hire. He has a good practical grasp of this area of law, and of arguments around impecuniosity.

Employment

Prior to coming to the Bar, Marc built up experience in the Employment Tribunal as a volunteer, appearing in preliminary and final hearings, as well as negotiating positive outcomes for those he represented. He is keen to build upon this experience in the Employment team at Park Square Barristers.

Commercial & Chancery

Prior to joining PSQB, Marc had a varied career in roles around the law. He spent several years as a case and contract manager at the General Dental Council, managing prosecutions in fitness to practise hearings before deciding to return to his studies and to qualify for the Bar. Following his studies, he worked as a financial ombudsman, making legally-binding decisions in relation to consumer complaints about financial services. Since then, Marc has volunteered with Leeds Free Legal Representation, an organisation providing advice and representation in relation to employment tribunal cases. He achieved positive outcomes for his clients, both in hearings and through negotiated settlements.

Having worked around the law for so long, Marc was keen to take the next step and to qualify. Having been successful, and having enjoyed, the academic stages of qualification, he is looking forward to undertaking a broad civil pupillage, under the supervision of Amrit Atwal and John Boumphrey.
