Adam Furze

Adam joins Chambers as a third-six pupil from the Crown Prosecution Service having completed his pupillage with the CPS and qualifying as a Crown Advocate.

As a Crown Advocate, Adam regularly appeared in the Crown Court and prosecuted all types of hearings in the Magistrates’ Court including remand courts and trial courts. Trials prosecuted include sexual assault, domestic abuse with res gestae and hearsay legal arguments, and possession of weapons in public spaces. He also provided written advice on an unsuccessful prosecution and drafted amendments to both CPS and police policies.

Whilst studying for his law degree, Adam worked as a Legal Researcher for a barrister specialising in prison law, criminal appeals and public administrative law with a particular focus on cases involving civil liberties. He also volunteered for a suicide helpline supporting individuals in mental health crisis.

Adam is a grade 1 prosecutor and prosecutes and defends across the Western Circuit and beyond. He is keen to develop a practice in regulatory law, professional discipline and court martial proceedings. During his second six, he was seconded to the Service Prosecuting Authority.  Alongside his day job, Adam serves in the British Army Reserves, so he has an understanding about the unique challenges of military life.

Adam has recently published an article available here, considering the implications of the recent judgment in DPP v Barton [2024] EWHC 1350 (Admin).
