We recognise that clients demand specialist knowledge from barristers who are technically astute, excellent in court and aware of wider commercial issues and personable.

St Philips is delighted to announce that Lisa Hancox has joined their Criminal Team.
Lisa moves to St Philips as an established and well respected criminal practitioner who both prosecutes and defends in the crown court. Lisa’s practice covers a spectrum of criminal offences but she has particular expertise in cases of sexual offences and serious violence.
Lisa is personable, approachable and known to have a high standard of client care which often means she is the advocate of choice to represent clients who are especially vulnerable.
Senior Criminal Clerk, Phil Jones, commented: “Lisa’s reputation is that of a top class criminal advocate and I’m extremely pleased that she has joined St Philips and further strengthened our Criminal Team.”
