Criminal Law Update
An overview of the most important case law and other developments in the criminal law
over the last year
PHILIP CLEMO (ST JOHN’S BUILDINGS)
Philip is a criminal law specialist. He enjoys a busy practice in the Crown Court where he
both prosecutes and defends. His practice encompasses a wide variety of cases from
violent and sexual offences through to those involving dishonesty and drugs. He has also
appeared in the Court of Appeal for both the prosecution and defence. He is also an
experienced POCA practitioner and is a member of the Proceeds of Crime Lawyers’
Association.
Philip prides himself on high levels of client care for both his lay and professional clients. He
considers detailed preparation to be a cornerstone of his practice and has prosecuted
matters with large amounts of detailed and forensic evidence. He has experience in
representing vulnerable clients in a compassionate but professional manner. He also has
experience of successfully cross-examining young and vulnerable witnesses.
ROBERT EDWARDS (ST JOHN’S BUILDINGS)
Cyber Crime – how to defend it and how to defend against it
Rob’s talk will cover all of the typical cyber crime offences, ranging from internet
pornography to fraud and how individual practices can do something to guard
themselves against it.
As a cybercrime and fraud specialist, Rob has prosecuted some of the most complicated
cases of recent years in the West Midlands area, including the successful prosecution of
the chairman of a nationally known company for hacking a competitor’s website. Rob’s
particular expertise in the digital arena has led him to be briefed in cases where evidence
of a sophisticated and complicated nature has been an integral part of the case. Rob
has also appeared for the prosecution as a junior counsel in murder trials and as sole
advocate in high value fraud and contested confiscation hearings. He also appears on
an almost daily basis in the Crown Court for more general crime. Prior to joining the CPS,
Rob had developed an enviable reputation as an effective defence advocate and
having now converted to the bar and joining St John’s Buildings, he is keen to redevelop
that area of his practice.
