Owen joined Deans Court in May 2023, bringing with him extensive clerking and advocacy experience gained over a number of years within the legal profession. Prior to joining Deans Court, Owen spent five years clerking at Kings Chambers before moving to DWF’s internal advocacy team in 2021, where he worked across a broad range of Civil matters. This experience has provided Owen with a comprehensive understanding of the demands of both Chambers and solicitors’ practices, together with a strong appreciation of the importance of effective communication and client service.

At Deans Court, Owen is an integral member of the clerking team and plays an important role in the day-to-day management and development of a large and busy Barristers’ practice. His responsibilities include the strategic management of Barristers’ diaries, allocation and management of instructions, coordination of hearings and conferences, agreeing and negotiating of fees and maintaining strong working relationships with solicitors and professional clients.

Owen works closely with Barristers and instructing solicitors to ensure that matters are managed efficiently and that the appropriate level of support is provided throughout the life of a case. He has particular experience in the management of Personal Injury, Clinical Negligence and Financial Remedy practices, and is accustomed to working within a fast-paced environment where organisation, attention to detail and a proactive approach are essential.

His previous experience across both Chambers and an in-house advocacy environment has given Owen a broad perspective of the legal sector and enables him to understand the requirements of both Barristers and those instructing them. He takes pride in providing a responsive and professional service, building strong client relationships and ensuring that the clerking function operates to the highest possible standard.

Outside of work, Owen is a keen supporter of Manchester City and loves travelling with his wife. You'll often find him with a good book or a pint!
