Sacha Waxman joins Exchange Chambers

December 2, 2024

Exchange Chambers has welcomed Sacha Waxman as a new member.

Sacha Waxman was called to the Bar in 2024, but her legal career began in 2006 when she joined one of the largest and leading national criminal defence firms as a trainee solicitor. She qualified as a solicitor in 2008 (admitted to the roll January 2009) and later attained higher rights of audience in 2013 before beginning her practice in the Crown Court.

Sacha has almost two decades of extensive experience in defence practice, including but not limited to cases involving serious and organised crime, murder, manslaughter, terrorism, fraud, computer crime, money laundering, drug importation and conspiracies to supply, offences against the person, serious sexual offences and burglary. She also gained experience of large VHCC and POCA cases. During her practice, Sacha has also prosecuted for the RSPCA, the Health and Safety Executive and the DWP.

Commenting on her decision to pursue a career at the Bar and join Exchange Chambers, Sacha Waxman said:

“It is an extremely exciting time in my legal career. My decision to step away from a long and rewarding practice as a Solicitor-Advocate and embark on a career at the independent Bar has been significantly easier to make because of the standard of excellence at Exchange.

“I am absolutely delighted to be joining the crime team at Exchange Chambers.”

Welcoming Sacha to Exchange, Chief Executive Jonathan I’Anson said:

“Sacha is a widely recognised and well-respected criminal lawyer with extensive experience and great potential.  We look forward to supporting her new career at the Bar.”
