Lewis Power KC is a formidable Advocate who is recognised as a leading light in complex Jury trials.

His down to earth and approachable nature are major facets in instilling confidence in both professional and lay clients. Sources reveal he is an unrivalled cross-examiner, and is often first choice for those cases which are particularly complex and where quick judgement is needed and he is known to be cool under pressure. He is often the "silk of choice" for heavyweight criminal cases involving fraud, regulatory and cases with an international dimension. His cases have ranged from the infamous Grobelaar match fixing case to the London terrorist bombing trials.

He has represented famous sports persons in the fields of football and horse racing.

He has recently been instructed in the first 2 major cases in which the new crime of slavery has been charged - the first such cases in the last 200 years.

He has recently been acknowledged as being in the top Ten List of barristers in the UK (Chambers UK, 2014) and is currently studying to become an Attorney at the Californian Bar.
