BACKGROUND
Before being called to the bar, I worked for the city law firm Clifford Chance for over seven years between 1993 and 2000.
After qualifying from Clifford Chance, London, I spent over five years in Clifford Chance's offices in Hong Kong and Shanghai, and was involved in all aspects of Chinese corporate and commercial work.
Thereafter I went on to front the Mergers and Acquisitions Department in Shanghai where a number of "first time" transactions were successfully completed, including China's first merger of foreign-invested enterprises, China's first joint venture insurance company, and China's first private telecommunications deal, among others.
After successfully passing the conversion examination for the Bar, I was called to the Bar in 2002.
PRACTICE
Criminal defence practice with experience in a variety of cases of serious violence (including actual bodily harm, violent disorder, affray and robbery), as well as offences of dishonesty, and offences involving the importation and supply of drugs.
NOTABLE CASES

Successful defence to count of possession of Class A drugs with intent to supply.
This case involved parallel hearsay and bad character applications arising out of police intelligence reports concerning the two co-defendants. As a result of these applications, severance was ordered in respect of one co-defendant, and the other, having pleaded guilty, gave evidence for the Crown in Mr Smith’s trial.

This case involved a defence alleging unlawful arrest, excessive use of force by police, and fabrication of evidence by relevant police officers after the event.

This case was part of a major police operation in the Bristol area, involving extensive police surveillance and evidence of facial mapping.
