Jumpseater is right when he says:
It doesn’t. It shows a defence lawyer at work.
Here is what Stephen Spence's chambers, Drystone, says about him:
Stephen is recognised for his specialist aviation practice. An RAF trained pilot with flying experience ranging from gliders to fast jets and rotary he has an enviable reputation for defending aviation related prosecutions. These have ranged from regulatory issues to allegations of gross negligence manslaughter. His clients have included aircraft engineers, pilots (private and commercial), aviation businesses and international airlines.
He was part of the team that successfully defended Andy Hill at the Old Bailey. Hill was acquitted unanimously of manslaughter by gross negligence over the Shoreham Hunter crash.

As far as I know, despite the BBC report, Stephen Spence is not a QC. But, having seen him at work in the Hill case, I can vouch for his aviation knowledge and his abilities in court.
