1MCB criminal barristers representing in UK riots cases

Members of 1 Mitre Court Buildings’ Criminal Team have been very busy recently, dealing with cases arising out of the August 2011 UK riots.

Caroline Gassman, Pamela Rose, Jemima Ivens, Parveen Judge, Satnam Bains, Tanya Murshed, Gwawr Thomas and Jacob Bindman have all been representing in various courts across London in these cases, which have been raising unusual and complex legal and practical issues.

For an example of a successful outcome for a defendant represented by Tanya Murshed, see here.
