Strengths

Provided by Chambers

Geoff had an excellent grasp of the technology and the arguments on our side and, perhaps more importantly, understood and exploited the weaknesses in the arguments and evidence on the other side.

Geoffrey Pritchard KC is excellent. He was really well prepared at trial. His cross-examination of the opponent expert was a masterclass. He annihilated the evidence.
