Strengths
Provided by Chambers
"She is a powerhouse of an advocate who commands a room and secures the trust of judges, opponents and clients."
"She understands the issues - not just those directly related to the case, but also those on the periphery which may also have an impact and may not have been apparent to the court and other parties."
"She is particularly sensitive with vulnerable clients, and will strain to ensure they feel heard and represented."
