Campbell was appointed a Partner of the firm in May 2007.

He was admitted in 1969 he has been a criminal lawyer throughout that period and ran his own practice in Salford until merging with Stephensons in 1999.

The Special Cases department was originally built around Campbell's experience in dealing with serious, complex crime and his national reputation for investigating and challenging miscarriages of justice. The department has achieved a significant number of referrals to the Court of Appeal from the Criminal Appeal Cases Review Commission and in 2005 alone dealt with 7 murder or manslaughter appeals including the landmark decision on so called "Shaken baby syndrome".

The work is undertaken alongside the Prison Law team which developed as a result of the appeal work and difficulties commonly faced by those maintaining their innocence.

Campbell is the chair of the Criminal Lawyers Appeal Association, a body he helped set up and he is frequently asked to lecture on his experiences.

Campbell has also developed considerable experience in the increasingly important field of the confiscation of assets. As a result of the success of the department it receives many referrals from other Solicitors and Barristers from around the country.

Campbell is recommended in the Legal 500.
