Leading Juniors
Leading juniors are those with significant experience of key cases, strong market recognition from both peers and clients, and are seen as future candidates for silk.
Douglas Allen
'Douglas's advocacy is sharp and detailed, focussing on the essential elements only. He delivers his advocacy in the same way as his advice in conference, quietly and assuredly, and you know you are in good hands and clients instantly appreciate his bedside manner.'
Jane Campbell
'Clients like Jane because she is approachable, she delivers advice the clients may not want to hear in an honest and firm manner, and her negotiating skills are incredible, so you want her on your side in an FDR/pFDR. In court, her delivery is clear, concise and firm, delivered in a calm manner meaning that she is listened to by the judiciary.'
Louise Potter
'Louise is guaranteed to be thoroughly prepared and dynamic is seeking solutions and remedies to obstacles which may be an issue during the course of a matter. She has a meticulous eye for detail and is able to deconstruct and analyse complex facts and figures in a limited timeframe, and she is empathetic and client focused, reassuring and calm, and places the client at the forefront, which is central to her being able to engage productively with them.'
