Citadel Chambers welcomes Giles Pengelly

Citadel Chambers welcomes Giles Pengelly, formerly of No5 Barristers’ Chambers, who has joined us.

Giles prosecutes and defends criminal cases in the Crown Court. From the various roles he has performed in his career, Giles has knowledge and experience of the culture and practices of the police and the Crown Prosecution Service and finds this experience invaluable when both prosecuting and defending.

He is particularly adept at identifying and arguing about matters of disclosure; particularly when defending, and likes to get involved early in a party’s preparation for trial.

If you want to discuss a case or book an appointment, you can either email us at clerks@citadelchambers.com, call us on 0121 233 8500 or use this form.

“My team and I consistently strive to deliver rigorous, consistent and clear legal guidance for all our clients. We pride ourselves on clear communication, understanding of the nuances of the law and our enthusiasm in taking on new challenges. “
 

Tim Hannam KC |  Head of Chambers

Witness Familiarisation Support And Courses

These are a few examples of courses in which our members have been involved:

  • Witness familiarisation with trainee police officers and special constables from Northamptonshire Police, where the officers were questioned regarding their statements about ‘mock’ arrest exercises
  • Similar exercises with detectives from the West Midlands Police
  • Witness familiarisation with officers of the Northamptonshire Probation Service.  These officers were given training on the process of giving evidence in sentencing hearings in the Magistrates Court and Crown Court
  • Expert witness familiarisation and training, with expert witnesses such as independent Forensic Scientists, and officers of the Health and Safety Executive. The exercises involved questioning regarding expert reports prepared by the participants

Equal Opportunity Policy

 

Citadel’s members come from a range of backgrounds and everyone is treated with the same respect as part of our Chamber’s community. 

 

We operate an equal opportunity policy and act in accordance with the Bar Code of Conduct and the Equality Code for the Bar.

 

We seek to prevent direct or indirect discrimination towards our clients, staff, tenants and pupils, on the grounds of race, colour, ethnic or national origin, nationality or citizenship, political persuasion, religion, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, disability or age.

Maternity / Paternity Policy

We support all members  who  are fortunate enough to become parents.   Whilst Citadel has written policies dealing with issues of maternity and paternity leave for members of Chambers and support staff, we also try to be flexible in our approach and to accommodate individual needs.

Uniquely (to our knowledge) we offer direct financial support to members returning from parental leave in order to cushion the cash flow impact of return to practice .
