With a strong reputation for providing robust and pragmatic legal advice, Robert is dedicated to protecting the legal rights of his clients.

Robert practices in various legal disciplines including litigation and commercial law, with a particular emphasis on serious criminal offences such as sexual offences and major drug matters.
