[Fred Legg @FrederickJLegg]

Now that the dust has settled (and the news has finally settled in just a little!) I am absolutely overjoyed to announce I have accepted an offer of pupillage at @gardencourtlaw on their Crime-Specialist Pupillage starting in Autumn 2024.

[Fred Legg @FrederickJLegg]

@daniellejmanson I can't wait!!

[Fred Legg @FrederickJLegg]

@OlliePersey @gardencourtlaw Thank you! Looking forward to it!!!

[Fred Legg @FrederickJLegg]

@BiddleMolly @gardencourtlaw Thanks Molly!!

[Fred Legg @FrederickJLegg]

I am so incredibly grateful for this opportunity & excited for everything this pupillage will throw at me!

I would like to thank those who provided so much support to me throughout applications, particularly my partner @ElliotHowaSpi, & all of my wonderful colleagues at @SMW_Law

[Ben Nelson @SomeBenNelson]

Especially frustrating to see this; of the six questionnaires I have completed, 5 were done pro-Bono (and colleagues of mine have done the same). More bad faith attacks on lawyers to cover up for SSHD failures, as is this govt’s modus operandi.

Sarah Elliott KC @sebarrister & Kate O'Raghallaigh @koraghallaigh successfully defended the 19 year old accused of murdering his grandmother in Brighton during lockdown...

[Fred Legg @FrederickJLegg]

Very proud to have been a part of this excellent result for our client

[SonnMacmillanWalker @SMW_Law]

SMW client unanimously acquitted at Lewes CC of murdering his grandmother. David Sonn, Leah Connolly and Freddy Legg instructed Sarah Elliott KC and Kate O’Raghallaigh.

[Ash Sarkar @AyoCaesar]

A 16 year old girl has been murdered, taken from her friends and family when her life was only just beginning. I cannot fathom the callousness involved in making the editorial decision to violate her dignity in death.

Disgusting from @thetimes.

[LCCSA @lccsa]

This is welcome news, but we do wonder why solicitors are not receiving 15% on the rates given an independent review recommended precisely that. Prosecution and defence should rightly have parity when it comes to rates, but sadly the scales of justice remain imbalanced.

[25 Bedford Row @25BedfordRow]

Dominic Thomas’s client receives exceptional suspended sentence of imprisonment for possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence at Southwark Crown Court today. Dominic was privately instructed by Amy Cox, head of litigation at Sonn Macmillan Walker.
