Nicholas Jones

Since completing pupillage at 1 Crown Office Row in October 2023, Nicholas has quickly built up a wide range of advocacy experience, having appeared unled in an extensive range of trials (including on the multi track), inquests, and interlocutory hearings. He is happy to consider instructions across all of Chambers’ core areas.

Nicholas is currently instructed on the Nottingham Inquiry as part of the Counsel to the Inquiry Team (led by Rachel Langdale KC). The public hearings opened on 23 February 2026 and are expected to run through to June 2026.This Inquiry, chaired by Her Honour Deborah Taylor, is examining the events, acts and omissions that led up to Valdo Calocane killing three people and seriously injuring three others in Nottingham city centre in June 2023.

Before coming to the Bar, Nicholas volunteered as an advocate with the School Exclusion Project representing pupils appealing their exclusion from school, and as a researcher looking at the implications of voter ID at the privacy-focussed think tank Big Brother Watch. He also worked as a paralegal in a large City law firm where he was based in the public law, planning and infrastructure team. In that role, he was involved in a range of matters, from advising on draft legislation in the Northern Ireland Assembly to assisting with planning disputes involving the construction of new housing.
