Alongside his personal injury practice, Maxwell has a background in criminal law, acting as junior alone in serious Crown Court trials and as led junior in complex prosecutions involving the National Crime Agency. That experience has strengthened his handling of disclosure, factual disputes and advocacy under pressure, skills which directly support his personal injury work.
Prior to pupillage, Maxwell worked as a County Court advocate with LPC Law, giving him an early grounding in civil procedure and courtroom advocacy that continues to inform his practice.
