Je suis avocat au Barreau d’Angleterre et du Pays de Galles (exercice depuis septembre 2001). Depuis 2009, mon activité professionnelle s’est focalisée sur la défense d’accusés dans les procès pénaux internationaux. J’ai représenté ou participé à la représentation de clients dans neuf affaires devant le TPIR, le TSL, le MIFRTP et la CPI. Je suis actuellement conseil adjoint de M. Ali Muhammad Ali Abd-Al-Rahman (Darfour) devant la CPI, et conseil de M. Alphonse Nteziryayo devant le MIFRTP. J’étais également conseil adjoint ad hoc de M. Al-Hassan (Mali) vers la fin de la procédure à charge, et pendant la procédure des victims, devant la CPI. J’ai présidé en 2016-2017 deux comités inauguraux de l’ABCPI: le Comité de formation et le Comité consultatif des normes professionnelles. Je travail aisément aussi bien en français qu’en anglaise, un avantage important compte tenu du caractère multilingue des activités de la CPI.
