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.

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.
