Joseph Hume

Senior Associate, Corker Binning

Joseph advises clients across the spectrum of criminal proceedings, from the police investigation through to trial, in both Magistrates’ and Crown Court matters. He has experience in a range of criminal offences, including drug offences, serious assaults, sexual offences and white-collar crime. During his first six months following qualification, Joseph gained experience as a Magistrates’ Court advocate, which provided him with valuable first-hand insight into tactical approaches to case preparation. He continues to represent clients in in interviews under caution following arrest and in voluntary attendance interviews. Joseph acts in a broad range of high profile and complex regulatory and white-collar cases. He has experience acting for both suspects and witnesses in investigations brought by specialist prosecutors and regulatory bodies, including the Serious Fraud Office, the Financial Conduct Authority and HMRC. Joseph has also participated in Law Commission panel committees, most recently advising on the Law Commission’s proposal to create new sexual communications offences.
