I am a highly successful DEFENCE BARRISTER. I ONLY DEFEND. In the DEFENCE cases I undertake my objective is to maximise opportunities for successful outcomes. I have a history of achieving successful outcomes as evidenced by my recent cases and testimonials. I am also a Member of No5 Chambers, one of the largest sets of Chambers in the UK with offices in London, Birmingham, Bristol and Leicester. I also serve clients in Yorkshire, Manchester and across the UK.
I often DEFEND professionals for whom conviction NOT ONLY carries with it the prospect of imprisonment but it would also destroy a lifetime of GOOD CHARACTER as well as obliterate A HARD EARNED REPUTATION at WORK and UNDERMINE relationships with FRIENDS and FAMILY.
I therefore completely understand that the impact of conviction extends far beyond the accused person to family members; colleagues and friends and associates.
An impending criminal trial causes huge stress and MAY lead to irremediable reputational damage.
My past clients include, serving police officers; journalists; professors; diplomats; teachers; doctors; foster carers; nurses (and other medical practitioners); bankers and accountants.
Over many years of DEFENCE PRACTICE, I have developed a STRATEGIC AND TACTICAL APPROACH that is integral to achieving SUCCESSFUL OUTCOMES.
I EMBRACE the fact that a substantial proportion of my clients are HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL in their own field and so they are PROACTIVE, DETERMINED, and DEMANDING.
I am a collaborative lawyer. We work as a team. My clients are the heart-beat of the case. I work tirelessly to ensure I fully understand the issues in the case before devising a strategy for trial, in conjunction with my professional and lay client. I ensure that I am completely transparent in my approach to developing and implementing a strategy for trial and that my lay client is ON BOARD with all the material decisions made in trial preparation.
From the outset I make it clear that the lay client is the most important person in the room. It is the client’s case. I am there to advise; devise strategy and then implement that strategy through to the presentation of the case at trial.
If there are contentious strategic or tactical issues that arise these are tackled head on and a reasoned, rationale approach is adopted to resolve those issues.
I have the dedication and aptitude and acumen to deliver upon our agreed strategy at trial.
We control the PROCESS, not the outcome but the HARDER and SMARTER we work towards our GOAL the greater our chances of achieving SUCCESSFUL OUTCOMES together.
My mantra is to ‘MAXIMISE OPPORTUNITY’ for the clients whom I represent.

Thereafter I studied European Law at the College of Europe (Bruges) and I am currently a member of the Bar European Group and the European Lawyers Bar Association. I have been a Barrister in private practice since 1985. I am a member of the largest set of Chambers in the UK, No. 5 Chambers.
My mantra is to ‘MAXIMISE OPPORTUNITY’ for the clients whom I represent.
If you have been accused of criminal, regulatory or disciplinary offences, you need a team of skilled lawyers whom you can trust to work diligently and assiduously on your behalf. I believe I have a unique and strategic approach to casework, taking on fewer clients specifically so that I can offer a service which provides added value. My objective is to ensure that clients benefit from a coherent strategy from the outset. Frontloading my input on a case enables me to provide maximum value to my clients and thereby enhance the possibility of achieving successful outcomes. I believe in being hands-on.
My clients are at the centre of the process of trial preparation. I have been recognised for my expertise in defence work. I only defend.

My experience and expertise is supported by an infrastructure comprising of efficient and reliable clerks and support staff.
We focus on delivering personalized solutions tailored to your unique circumstances, ensuring that your case receives the attention and expertise it deserves.

Mark Kelly KC has represented my husband on two separate occasions. He took the time to get all the facts from us, he explained in detail what will take place. He researched all relevant material of the case. His vast experience, knowledge and communication skills has resulted in favourable outcomes in both cases. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Mark Kelly KC to anyone needing a good barrister.
