Year Of Call: 1994

Paul has a wide-ranging common law practice, acting for both claimants and defendants. With extensive experience of jury, tribunal and appellate advocacy in addition to cases tried by judges alone, he has a particular interest in civil claims against local authorities and the police, and in social security and community care law.

He is recommended as a leading junior in the Personal Injury and Police Law sections of the current edition of Chambers & Partners, in which he is described as a "formidable advocate", impressing clients with his excellent preparation, accessibility and thoroughness, "a real talent" who is "a walking encyclopaedia of case law" and a "real expert on police law".  He is "always meticulously well prepared" and comes up with "very strong arguments on points of law", so it is no surprise that he "gives an excellent account of himself in court".  He is also recommended as a leading junior in the Administrative and Public Law, Civil Liberties and Human Rights and Education sections of the current edition of The Legal 500 in which he is described a "effective and focused".
