Craig MacGregor was called to the Bar in 1999, graded 'very competent' in bar finals overall and 'outstanding' in the criminal option. 

After coming to the law he practised as a solicitor, specialising in serious crime at one of the country's top firms, and solicitor advocate in all forms of criminal defence work. 

Predominantly a defence advocate he has proved himself more than capable in the full range of criminal cases. Craig has been a led junior in murder cases as well as dealing with rape, other serious sexual offences, child abduction, gang related firearms, blackmail, drugs importations and supplies, non-fatal offences against the person and public order matters.

Complex fraud and trade marks and patents cases have always been apart of Mr MacGregor's practise both as a solicitor and as counsel. 

In the Court of Appeal he has appeared in front of the immediate past and the current Lord Chief Justices in murder appeals, as well as being led in front of the current President of the Queen's Bench.
