Barry moved from Scotland to join Shine in 2004. From the Scottish isle Barry brought a reverential and professional litigation nature to Shine Lawyers. This highly spirited lawyer likes to take on a good fight and overcome challenges because “life would be rather dull without them,” he says.
Barry believes that the greatest privilege in his line of work is the “privilege to help those in need,” and “knowing you have truly made a positive difference to someone’s life,” makes his life’s work worthwhile.
