Hello! I’m Taz 👋
I’m a barrister, part-time YouTuber, founder of Lexstery and the podcast host of The Robing Room®. I work in London and have a strong interest in exploring tools and tricks that can optimise our performance and wellbeing in the pursuit of curating a healthier happier and more successful life.
Few words about me
As a criminal barrister, I prosecuted cases in the Magistrates Court, Youth Court and Crown Court across England and Wales. If you’re involved in the criminal justice system and want to share your story, register your interest to come on my True Crime podcast – The Robing Room®
In my spare time, I create YouTube videos, and as the founder of Lexstery, I am building the UK’s first and free online community of aspiring lawyers (solicitors and barristers).
Starting a career in law can be overwhelming, which I appreciate coming from a state school background and having no legal contacts at the start of my journey. Whatever your background, I can help you realise your aspirations and qualify as a lawyer in England and Wales. I’m always here to help, so if you need anything, feel free to reach out 🙂
