Connor has established a busy and carefully balanced practice in both criminal and family law. He is regularly instructed in serious and factually complex cases, including matters requiring careful handling because of their sensitivity, gravity or profile. He is trusted to bring clear judgment and confident advocacy to difficult cases, particularly where the issues require a measured approach to vulnerable clients or witnesses and important strategic decisions.
Connor has appeared successfully in the High Court in family proceedings and in the Court of Appeal in criminal matters, with his advocacy praised at the highest judicial level as thorough and persuasive. His work often involves issues extending beyond this jurisdiction, including Hague Convention proceedings in family law and criminal matters concerning international organised crime and cross-border evidence or enforcement.
Whether instructed in criminal or family proceedings, Connor is approachable and practical. He works closely and constructively with solicitors, professional clients and lay clients, combining clear advice with an approachable manner and a calm, structured presence in court. He is valued for making difficult proceedings feel more manageable for all of those involved.
