Prashant joined Chambers in 2024 after completing pupillage at 4BB under the supervision of Philip Misner and Matthew Kirk. He has a busy criminal practice, and both prosecutes and defends in the Crown Court. He also accepts instructions in the Magistrates’ Court and in the Youth Court.
Appointed as a CPS Level 2 panel advocate, Prashant regularly prosecutes cases involving serious violence, weapons offences, dishonesty, and drug supply. His prosecution practice emphasises the principles of fairness and reasonableness, while his growing defence practice can be characterised by robustness in his advice to clients and rigour in his defence of them.
Prashant accepts instructions in all areas of criminal law. He has a developing interest in wildlife crime and animal law.
Prior to pupillage, Prashant worked as a paralegal at a leading criminal defence firm, where he managed a busy caseload across the spectrum of criminal law while also qualifying as an accredited police station representative.
To instruct Prashant please get in touch with the clerking team who will be happy to assist.

Represented a man at sentence for fraudulent trading. Prashant’s client was part of a gang of rogue traders who defrauded a vulnerable man in his 70s out of more than £36000. Prashant’s client and one of his co-defendants were held by the judge to have jointly played a leading role in the enterprise. Despite being held equally responsible, Prashant’s client was sentenced to 3 years 7 months’ imprisonment, while his co-defendant received a sentence of 6 years 3 months’ imprisonment.
Prashant’s client had been charged with intentional strangulation. On the day of trial, following representations made by Prashant, the prosecution offered no evidence.
