Practice Areas

Mark’s work embraces several practice areas in which his skill as an “outstanding advocate” makes him “simply one of the best barristers around,” providing a “first class” service for private client, HNW individuals and corporate entities accused of serious crime, professional misconduct and wider wrongdoing.

His professional discipline practice focuses upon the medical and legal sectors in which he has many years of experience defending individuals facing career-defining accusations of the most serious kind, in the former often where conduct with a fatal outcome is under scrutiny. Mark regularly defends professionals, corporate bodies and NHS Trusts at inquests, especially when gross negligence or corporate manslaughter will be alleged.

In business and serious crime, Mark has “a brilliant mind and fearlessly fights his client’s corner” with a wealth of experience from criminal homicide and multi-million pound financial crime. He is renowned for his exceptional work ethic and refined, strategic approach to business crime and for the care and sensitivity with which he deals with every client. He is particularly sought-after to defend HNW individuals accused of serious violence or sexual offences, where reputation as well as liberty is at stake.

Mark also provides written advice to a variety of corporate and individual clients in matters of high sensitivity, reputational significance and in circumstances where the early establishment of strategic positions can be crucial.
