Adam's work focuses on the rights of people who are disadvantaged, marginalised or vulnerable. His public law practice includes asylum and immigration, prison law, social welfare law, general public and human rights law, equality and discrimination, mental capacity and mental health, inquests, and (in particular on behalf of campaigning organisations) freedom of information. He also has a criminal defence practice, and acts in civil actions against prisons and the police. Adam has been instructed in cases ranging from youth courts to the UK Supreme Court.

Before becoming a barrister, Adam was an inner-city GP, and also worked for an NHS service for people with drug problems. He has much experience of, and values, working for people who may face particular difficulties dealing with the justice system. Adam is pleased to be a Legal Aid lawyer, and will work for free for needy clients when he has capacity and funding is unavailable.

Adam has degrees in law, medicine, physiology, and comparative social research. He has taught at Oxford and Newcastle Universities, and trains volunteers for the Free Representation Unit and for Medical Justice. He was the author of the Oxford Handbook of Patients' Welfare, a doctors' guide to patients' social and economic rights, and has written for national newspapers. Adam is on the board of Legal Action Group, and spent four years as an elected member of Oxford City Council.
