Park Square Barristers‘ team garners praise for its ’excellent strength in depth‘, and is home to ’very experienced counsel specialising in criminal law‘. In a prominent work highlight, the ’brilliant‘ Richard Wright KC led the ’fearless‘ Gillian Batts KC (who since rose to Silk in 2025) for the prosecution of a man who was convicted of the murder of seven-year-old Nikki Allan in 1992. Kama Melly KC has a solid track record in handling cases involving serious sexual offences; Craig Hassall KC stands out as ’a first-rate cross-examiner‘. In another matter, Catherine Silverton led Holly Clegg for the defence of a woman who was charged with conspiring to supply and possession with intent to supply Class A drugs after 5kg of cocaine was found in her flat; the client received a two-year sentence after being convicted for participating in the criminal activities of an organised crime group. Ellen Wright joined the team in December 2023.
