We are delighted to welcome Amy Shaffron (back) to PCB Byrne as a Partner in our Criminal Defence Department, where she will head up the firm's Serious and General Crime offering.
After training and qualifying at one of the country’s leading general and serious crime firms, Amy joined Byrne & Partners in 2012 where she spent five (happy!) years in our criminal team before setting out to build a highly respected standalone practice.
Sara Teasdale, Managing Partner, said: "𝘈𝘮𝘺 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘩𝘶𝘨𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘉𝘺𝘳𝘯𝘦 & 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘴' 𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘮, 𝘴𝘰 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵.

We could not be more pleased that she has chosen to come home. Her arrival strengthens our criminal offering considerably and reflects our ongoing investment in the areas where clients need us most.
Welcome back, Amy.
