(Leading Juniors)Ranked: Tier 1Danny Moore –Six Pump Court ‘Danny is well-liked by colleagues and the judiciary alike. He is tenacious and hard-working, with a tactician’s talent for identifying the issues that matter in a case. His written advocacy is focused and effective. His oral advocacy, delivered with his trademark charm, is nonetheless powerful and highly persuasive.’
Six Pump Court is a ‘solid set with a wealth of experience’ in all areas of criminal practice, with particular expertise in cases involving sexual offences and homicide. Experienced practitioner Richard Barraclough KC recently secured acquittal of a man being tried for murder and manslaughter in a case related to murder of a drug supplier by a competitor, and jointly heads the team with Nina Ellin KC, who is renowned for her ‘calm, confident and reassuring manner’ and successfully defended a young man, aged eighteen at the time of the alleged offence, accused of manslaughter after punching a man who was subsequently punched again by a co-defendant. Peter Alcock has extensive experience of acting for both the defence and the prosecution in criminal cases and acted as prosecutor in a two-handed corporate manslaughter case that involved a fatality at a waste management site (R v FDS Waste Limited & Phillip Pidgely). Danny Moore is a ‘first class defence barrister’ who also prosecutes. ‘Tenacious defender’ John Fitzgerald is known for ‘his meticulous preparation and written applications’ – he and Ellin KC represented a man who was charged with murder and only convicted of lesser offences after a homeless unregistered barrister was beaten to death with, among other objects, a gavel in a car park in Canterbury; a co-defendant was convicted of murder.
