Amanda Clift-Matthews named The Times Lawyer of the Week

Doughty Street Chambers is delighted to congratulate Amanda Clift-Matthews for being named The Times Lawyer of the Week.

Amanda was named Lawyer of the Week for her role in overturning Julian Washington's 2014 murder conviction in Bermuda, which was quashed last week by the judicial committee of the Privy Council. Representing him in an appeal led by the Death Penalty Project (DPP), she presented evidence highlighting systematic failures in the DNA analysis. Read more about the case here.
