Overview
Previous to becoming an independent practicing Barrister, Roderick was a senior crown prosecutor with the Crown prosecution service for 7 years.
He is also authorised by the Bar standards board to undertake Direct access work, which clients often prefer as there is no solicitor in the middle, and they instruct Roderick direct; also this reduces their costs.
If a client wants the case to be completely conducted by Roderick, so he would conduct all communications with the other side and the court, draft applications and documents, prepare bundles and so on, Roderick can undertake this as he is also certified to conduct litigation for clients by the Bar standards board.

"Dear Ms Sharma ,
I want to express my most sincere thanks for the professional representation, and you stuck by me through this stressful case. I admire your composure, work ethic and most of all excellent representation."
- Client
"Thank you for all the ongoing support you provided in the lead up to the hearing and in particular the way you handled my multiple enquiries, always dealing with them expeditiously and professionally. I also want to thank Angela for her work in the case, her expertise and experience was instrumental in achieving the positive outcome we had so desired."
- David Mortimer
"I was delighted when I first contacted David who understood my legal dilemma quickly and necessitated the paperwork so that I could be put in touch with Angela Sharma, who became the barrister for my case.
Angela is really approachable and easy to communicate with. She is very thorough and professional who always had my interests in mind but would not hesitate to steer me in the right direction and interpret the law for me. Angela was available and never missed a scheduled meeting and she took my calls.
Angela always remained calm even though we had press at the hearing which hadn’t been expected.
Most importantly for me, she knows the law and achieved the outcome I was hoping for at a reasonable price for a barrister in London.
This team were recommended to me and I would recommend them to anyone else."
- David Perry
"It was such a pleasure working with Angela and her team. Being a young adult graduate, my future and career is very important to me and If it wasn’t for Angela this could have been jeopardised. Not only did she go the extra mile for me, she really did pull a rabbit out the hat! And I am forever grateful for everything. I put my full trust and faith in her and I am so thankful I did, a heartful thank you!"
