Exchange Chambers

Criminal Barrister Amanda Johnson joins Exchange Chambers in Manchester

Criminal and prison law specialist Amanda Johnson has become the latest barrister to join Exchange Chambers’ fast expanding Manchester set.

Called to the Bar in 1992, Amanda joins Exchange Chambers from Young Street Chambers in Manchester.

With a wide range of experience of all levels of crime, Amanda is regularly instructed as junior counsel in serious criminal matters. She is instructed to prosecute at a number of different court centres, in all manner of offences including murder.  She also has considerable experience defending in serious crimes.

Commenting on her decision to join Exchange Chambers, Amanda said:

“Exchange Chambers has a first rate criminal department with strength in depth across the board. This move provides me with the perfect opportunity to further develop my practice in a forward thinking and progressive environment.”

Said Tom Handley, Chambers Director at Exchange Chambers:

“Our criminal department is continuing to expand and Amanda is a well known and widely respected criminal junior.   We are very pleased to welcome her to Chambers.”

Exchange Chambers is continuing to expand across all areas of its practice. The set now has three Chambers in the North of England having last year opened in Leeds.
