Career
Henrietta has spent her career specialising in the most serious and sensitive cases in the criminal courts. She both prosecutes and defends and her work spans the full range of criminal practice, from murder, people-trafficking, rape and child abuse to money laundering and fraud.
Since taking Silk in 2023, Henrietta has been instructed in cases involving homicide, rape and the abuse of children. Developing both her defence and prosecution practice, she has conducted large and paper-heavy trials concerning drug trafficking, money laundering and perverting the course of justice. She is frequently instructed to advise on complex and sensitive matters from an early stage.
Henrietta has a wealth of experience in cases involving allegations by children or otherwise vulnerable witnesses. She has a keen command of the developing law and practice in this specialist area and is qualified as a facilitator in delivering training to other advocates on best practice in the questioning of vulnerable people.
Henrietta is Treasurer of the Kalisher Trust - a charity working to promote diversity at the Criminal Bar and delivering outreach work in secondary schools, encouraging students from disadvantaged communities developing their skills in reasoned argument and public speaking.
