Formerly of Bell Yard Chambers, London (door tenant) and All Saints’ Chambers, Bristol; Nicholas Fridd joined Albion Chambers in 2000.
He is a specialist in criminal law who covers all offences. He usually undertakes defence work. He specialises in fraud with a particular interest in professional ‘white collar’ fraud (mortgage/banking/VAT, etc.) which has taken him to court centres across the country. He also deals with all other kinds of crime. He is also a Grade 3 CPS prosecutor. He is recognised to deal sympathetically with difficult defendants and young and vulnerable witnesses. In court he is noted for his courteous and unflappable approach. In difficult, and often last minute, circumstances he is considered to be a very safe pair of hands.
He has undertaken many lengthy cases, usually as junior counsel without a leader or as a leading junior.
Nicholas Fridd also undertakes Tribunal work where his calm, measured, to-the-point but incisive approach is appreciated by both clients and the Tribunal. He appears in Employment, Mental Health and Police Disciplinary Tribunals and in proceedings under the Clergy Discipline Measures, amongst other tribunal work.
Nicholas Fridd is ordained in the Church of England as a non-stipendiary minister.
