Harry Ireland

---

Harry's career has been within criminal law, initially as a defence advocate but mostly as a prosecutor all across the country. He has worked in private practice which included all aspects of common law but mostly as a criminal lawyer. His duties have been largely managerial, mixed with casework and advocacy. Following his appointment as Chief Crown Prosecutor, he currently holds the post for the West Midlands region covering the counties of West Midlands, Staffordshire, Shropshire, Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Warwickshire. The region is now the second best performing in the country.

Harry wishes to utilise his knowledge and experience in a field different to his own and, in doing so, provide some pro-bono effort to assist others. Part of Harry's motivation is to support an initiative for lawyers to undertake such work. Harry feels that his experience in both law and management will provide a valuable dimension to the Trust's Board.
