Jamie is a third-six pupil with a criminal practice, prosecuting and defending in the Magistrates’ and Crown Courts.

He has successfully represented youths in multi-handed robbery trials and cases involving racially aggravated public order, and adults in a range of offences involving motoring, violence and drugs.

Recently, Jamie was on secondment to the strategic litigation division of Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs. He has extensive experience in the preparation and conduct of appeals in the VAT and Duties Tribunal in which companies are alleged to have participated in MTIC fraud. Jamie has successfully represented HMRC in numerous hearings and recently resisted an exacting application to allow an appeal as an abuse of process (G. v. HMRC).

Immediately prior to the commencement of pupillage, Jamie was employed at Clifford Chance and Slaughter and May where he was involved in representing a multinational corporation in a US Securities and Exchange Commission fraud prosecution and then in research within the Capital Markets division. He also received a well grounded training in the money laundering regime. Previous to this, he spent two years as an English teacher in Japan.

Jamie returned to Chambers in January 2008 and continues to practice in the criminal courts and the VAT Tribunal.

Josepha  joined Chambers as a 3rd six pupil in January 2008, having completed a 12-month pupillage at 18 Red Lion Court.

She has developed a mixed practice of defence and prosecution work. Her trial work in the Magistrates' and Youth Courts has included successfully defending charges of attempted burglary, possession of an offensive weapon, battery, failing to provide a specimen and drink driving. Her prosecution work is diverse. She has prosecuted on behalf of the CPS, DWP, SOCA and Probation Service. Her court experience also includes bail applications, bad character and hearsay applications, among others.

Josepha has a keen interest in the development of homicide law. In 2005 she established the Death Penalty Archive at the Middle Temple Library, which was opened by Lord Bingham. She is also a member of the Homicide Review Advisory Group, which was set up by Sir Louis Blom-Cooper QC and Professor Terence Morris to review the law of homicide in parallel to the Law Commission. The group’s report is due to be published this spring.

Josepha also has experience of international law, having worked as a legal intern to Judge Liu Daqun at the Appeals Court of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and Rwanda. Her notable cases were Gacumbitsi (definition of rape in international criminal law), Ndindabahizi (hearsay evidence and the Čelebići principle), Simić (fair notice and proportionate sentencing), Žigić (right of secondary appeal), and Bagaragaza (refusing Norway the jurisdiction to try genocide as an ordinary crime).

Josepha has contributed to a number of legal publications. She is the author of the chapter on cartels for  Arlidge and Parry on Fraud (Sweet & Maxwell, 3rd edition) and was a contributing editor of  A Practitioner’s Guide to Terrorist Trials (2007). She has also written for The Times Law Section and the Road Traffic Updater (Sweet & Maxwell).
