A busy and popular advocate, Paul deals with complex and serious general crime and with difficult sexual cases involving rape and child sexual abuse – the latter often involving historic allegations. Paul has considerable experience in questioning vulnerable witnesses particularly children via intermediaries and he frequently advises on cases involving the overlapping laws in historic sex crimes.

His degree in Business Law gave him a solid grounding in accountancy, business finance and crimes involving companies and company directors.
