Six Pump Court is ‘an exceptional set’ that has ’a very strong and able array of advocates at all levels, including silks and experienced juniors’. Richard Barraclough KC is highly experienced in advising on complex cases involving serious sexual offences, homicide, and violent crime. Nina Ellin KC successfully prosecuted a woman who was convicted of murder of her brother-in-law; stabbing the deceased outside his own pub. Peter Alcock represented a defendant in a multi-handed conspiracy case involving burglary, car theft, and attempted robbery. Kieran Brand’s recent caseload includes matters related to murder, sexual assault, and drug conspiracies and is widely praised as ‘faultless when it comes to his advocacy and engagement skills’. The set’s strength at the senior level was further enhanced by the elevation of Danny Moore KC to silk in March 2025.
