About Grahame Aldous KC

"one of the most approachable barristers and really understands what being a modern silk is all about. Attentive to the needs of both solicitor and client, he understands client care whilst also being a pedigree performer in court".
He is known for his cross-examination skills, which have been described in the directories as "fearsome" and "awesome", and in the High Court as "a quiet bombshell", and he is an Advocacy Training Council Advanced Advocacy Trainer. His work includes a speciality in both maritime claims and claims involving other jurisdictions.
Grahame was called to the Bar in 1979 and took Silk (becoming a Queen's Counsel, or QC) in 2008.
