Individual Editorial
Leo Charalambides has a strong practice that sees him handling instructions from across the country. He often acts for local authorities tackling a range of issues, including those relating to taxi, SEV and busking licensing. He is noted for his effective advocacy style.
Strengths
Leo is a brilliant lawyer and an excellent advocate. Clients, licensing committees and magistrates appear to warm to him immediately.
Leo always provides an excellent service and the clients he works with really value his advice and assistance.
His style is respectful and professional, yet he can deliver devastating blows when called upon. He is also able to consider cases from multiple perspectives and apply novel concepts to licensing.
Leo is a highly experienced licensing barrister who goes that extra mile. A first-class individual who works well with the clients and the internal lawyers. He is very commercially savvy.
