DANIEL KERSH
Daniel heads up the advocacy department. He was one of the first solicitors to obtain Higher Rights of Audience, and conducts a wide range of cases in the Crown Court. Daniel also appears regularly in the appellate courts, challenging both convictions and sentences. He has a niche practice in domestic violence cases and has represented many Defendants caught up in the August 2011 civil disturbances. Daniel is a ranked lawyer in Chambers and Partners Directory 2012 and advises others within the firm on all matters of law and trial preparation. Daniel also advises at police stations, bringing a wealth of experience from the trial to the police station, and vice versa. This dual front-line role at both the start and end of a case allows for a rare understanding of the interplay between decisions made in the police station and the court process.
