Boo - got your message - no problem. A friend of mine is looking to hire a lawyer and he is interviewing Steven MOVERLEY SMITH (QC I THINK FOR ROBERRT BUNNAND NICHLAS WArren a trustee for of one of major schemes in Maxwell affair? Any thoughts on either of them

Moverly Smith did not act for Bunn. He has a background in chancery - ie general commercial with strong background in government work - he is quite young just made up to QC - ie not with a lot of experience as a QC. Nick Warren is Chairman of the Chancery Bar - very nice - good reputation, very dry - no charisma - typically deals with dry as dust trust cases. End of the day if you are recommending anyone you always need to know about the case as QCs are very much horses for courses. But bottom line Moverly Smith is young and relatively inexperienced. Warren - nice but dry as dust.

Neither are great on charisma and neither are top drawer and absolutely would not recommend either if any live witnesses are being called - it's not their bag. What is your friend looking for? Bruiser? Charisma? What type of case his he trying to win and who is up against?
