Exchange Chambers has members regularly instructed in complex, high-profile cases across the full spectrum of serious crime, both prosecuting and defending. John Jones KC defended in a murder case, in which it was at issue if the defendant's wife was killed by injuries inflicted by herself or her husband. David Temkin KC represented a North Wales Police officer who was cleared on a GBH charge after an under-age drinker suffered a ruptured testicle while being arrested for being drunk and disorderly outside a Bangor nightclub. Charlotte Rimmer defended in a complex historic sexual abuse trial involving vulnerable complainants and extensive disclosure, while David Toal acted for the principal defendant in a large-scale Class A drug importation case.
