Queen’s Counsel Alva Brangam has also come on board.

Juris Resolutions’ directors Martin Blake and Kathy Sinclair are a former barrister and solicitor respectively, with long legal experience in Belfast.

Martin Blake also has lengthy experience in California, where he served as an attorney-at-law. He is a former President of the San Francisco Trial Lawyers’ Association.

Kathy lectured in law at the University of Ulster and has lengthy practice experience in commercial, employment, banking, clinical negligence, and chancery cases.
