Tim began practice at the Bar in general crime before moving to Lombard Chambers in order to undertake more specialist work. Although Tim’s original general criminal practice encompassed both prosecution and defence work, he now defends exclusively.

Tim has established an excellent fraud practice encompassing Missing Trader Intra Community and VAT frauds as well as the connected civil litigation, including VAT Tribunals and pre-charge POCA restraint applications. A hard working junior who is able to think on his feet, Tim appreciates the value of electronic presentation of cases as well as the importance of rapport with client and lay-client. Currently Tim is instructed in a £2m Land Bank Fraud and a large Missing Trader Intra Community Fraud.

Tim is a direct access barrister and has rights of audience and can accept instructions in the Dubai International Financial Centre Courts (DIFC)

Tim is a member of the Criminal Bar Association and a contributor to the confiscation chapter of the forthcoming revised edition of Butterworths Money Laundering Law.
