Profile description

Experience & Expertise

Angus has been in continual practice at the Bar since 1992. He spent his formative years in a mixed set of Chambers. This resulted in him undertaking a vast range of work. In the 1990’s he formed close associations with a set in Kingston, Jamaica and with lawyers from the Gambia. He then assisted in numerous Privy Council cases, flying to Caribbean and the US. The clients ranged from representing the lawyers for the Medellin Cartel, owners of Hotels to that of representing private individuals.

During that period he undertook both numerous leading and led criminal cases of Murder, Child Kidnap and White Collar Fraud. Angus was instructed in numerous high profile Terrorist cases, including one individual who was specifically named by the United Nations Security Council. Over a decade ago, Angus changed his practice which has been for some time now, mostly civil, though he still accepts instructions on suitable criminal matters. Angus would say that his passion and strength lies in advocacy and specifically contentious cross examination.

Crime and regulatory offences

Angus has a background in dealing with criminal offences of the most serious nature. Whilst he has diversified his practice in recent years, he remains very well-placed to advise and represent private clients charged with the full range of criminal offences and is frequently instructed to attend criminal proceedings in the magistrates' court, the crown court and the Court of Appeal.

Angus is also frequently instructed on behalf of his commercial client base to defend them against criminal and quasi-criminal regulatory offences in the criminal courts, being prosecuted by the CPS, Local Authorities and a number of other prosecuting authorities such as the HSE and EA. Examples of the regulatory offences Angus has dealt with include charges brought under the environmental, health and safety, trading standards and licensing regimes.
