Nicholas joined chambers as a tenant in October 2023 following the successful completion of his pupillage and is currently building a diverse practice. He is happy to consider instructions across all of Chambers’ core areas.
Nicholas has quickly built up a wide range of advocacy experience, having appeared unled in an extensive range of trials, inquests, and interlocutory hearings. In October 2023, he successfully defended an NHS Trust in the 3-day multi-track trial of an EL/PL matter in the County Court at Central London. The Defendant succeeded on both the facts and the law, following extensive cross-examination of the Claimant throughout the first day of the trial.
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.
