About Mike

Mike was a solicitor for over thirty years, spending almost 27 of them in the CPS. During that time, he prosecuted cases in both the Magistrates and Crown Courts and reviewed files across the criminal offence's spectrum, including serious sexual abuse and murder.

He was the national CPS policy lead on vulnerable and intimidated witnesses and the intermediary scheme. He was also a manager of teams of lawyers covering advocacy in the Crown Court and the review of serious sexual offences.

Mike retired from the Crown Prosecution Service in 2019 and has since then been accepted as an Associate with the College of Policing, developing examination questions for police promotions, and assessing potential recruits into the police service. He also delivers training on criminal law and procedures to government departments. At Taye, Mike is involved in a project to improve their internal processes for the benefit of both the company and the freelance facilitators. He also delivers training for Taye both online and in person.

Mike is passionate about Inclusion, justice and ensuring everyone has the opportunity to learn, contribute and come away with something valuable from the training.
