Pupil Barrister at Hill Twine Solicitors Ltd

Lauren Matthews

Pupil Barrister

Before pursuing a career at the Bar, I worked for five years as a Judge’s Clerk. Sitting with a High Court Judge, I was able to observe different areas of law including high profile criminal trials and the Court of Appeal Criminal Division. I gained a significant understanding of effective advocacy, procedure and legal arguments. The role also gave me an opportunity to travel to various court centres across the UK, with a specific focus on the Western Circuit. It was this job that inspired me to pursue a career at the Bar and, later, a practice on the Western Circuit.

Motoring Offence and representations to CPS

5

Superbly handled by various members of the Hill Twine team, from advice at the police station (Luke) through to Magistrates (Anna), representations made to the CPS (Lauren) to negotiate a reduced charge to something that would not have such a disproportionate impact on my life going forwards, and finally to advocacy at the Crown Court (Kevin) to secure an appropriate outcome.
