Reference by William Clegg Q. C.
“I have worked with Conrad on a number of substantial cases. It is in his preparation and administrative skills that I’ve had the most first hand experience. He is an excellent case manager, prepares his cases meticulously and has a great feel for a case which only comes from experience. I have learnt to trust his judgement and come to respect his assessment of a case.”
