15NBS is praised as an ‘impressive criminal set with a consistently strong and dependable team of barristers’. Unled, Robert Ward represented an eighteen-year-old who received a three-year sentence for involvement in the attempted murder of another eighteen-year-old, who the defendant had previously engaged in sexual activity with, unaware of the victim’s transgender identity. Justin McClintock – with a leader at trial and unled in an appeal against sentence – represented a woman who was acquitted of murder, but convicted of lesser offences, in a case featuring contested translation of a large volume of message evidence in a Creole language spoken only in the Dutch Caribbean.
