Practice Areas
Anja specialises in commercial dispute resolution and insolvency. Her strength lies in combining a forensic attention to detail with strong technical skill and sound commercial judgement. Clients have observed that she is “fantastic on her feet”, “always incredibly well prepared” and “a fearless fighter in court” (Chambers and Partners 2024) and have described Anja as “commercial and very pragmatic” and “very hard-working and articulate” (Chambers and Partners 2023). Anja relates well with clients and is astute in her pursuit of their objectives, generating feedback that she “really considers client requirements and aims” and is “really easy to work with and presents well before clients” (Legal 500 2023).
Anja is a popular choice for led work, through which she has acquired experience of drafting, advocacy and strategy formulation in high value and complex disputes. Led briefs include a c.£4m fraud claim in which she obtained a without-notice freezing order and subsequent Norwich Pharmacal relief. She receives substantial instruction in her own right, having advised trustees in bankruptcy on a purported secured debt of c.£1.5m, advised on an intimated claim arising from alleged misuse of confidential information, and defended an application for an administration order brought on a contingent debt of c.£337k.
Anja is a barrister member of the Civil Procedure Rule Committee, having been appointed in 2018 and re-appointed in 2021. She was appointed as junior counsel to the Crown (regional panel C) commencing 1 March 2021, and sits on the advisory board to the University of Liverpool School of Law.
