Background

Nic Lobbenberg KC

Call 1987 / Silk 2014

"Nic is excellent and very experienced counsel in police related matters across a wide variety of forums - all criminal courts, police discipline tribunals and PATs and the Administrative Court. He is well prepared, engages fully with solicitors, effective in both conference and in the trial arena and possesses very good judgement when it comes to case management decisions. He is also good with clients and Federation representatives." 

Nic is a highly persuasive Silk who earns the respect of his clients with his tactical awareness and outstanding advocacy skills. He has admirable ability to condense a case down to the essentials. His court skills match those required for heavyweight cases involving complex law and facts. He is unflappable in the face of any obstacle. Most importantly he talks to a jury, not at them, and they listen.

Nic has expertise in homicide, sexual offences, fraud, police law and inquests.

He has provided training to Police Federation, the FSA, and Trading Standards.

Lectured at Oxford University School of Human Rights on Modern Slavery
