Bio:

In 2010, I was a Queen Mother scholar after the BCL at Balliol College where I worked as an honorary research assistant. Since 2016, I have taught advocacy at the Inn for pupils and new practitioners.  I was privileged to chair scholarship interviews at the Inn, this year, for a fourth time. These opportunities led to advocacy training for Ukrainian prosecutors during several visits to Warsaw, Krakow, and Gdansk. I am a Grade A Panel Counsel, Attorney General’s specialist regulatory list (environmental offences). In 2017 I was appointed to the Forensic Science Advisory Council.  I am really interested in quality law reporting.  Since 2022 I have served as a Director, Trustee and Council Member of the Official Law Reports published by the Incorporated Council of Law Reporting for England & Wales. I am responsible for scholarships, awards and internships as a trustee of the Kalisher Trust.  I am my chambers' deputy chair of its Business, Crime & Investigations practice team.  I am on the Bar Council's Ethics Committee. I have a generalist common law practice.  Five years ago, four friends and I restored a fifty-year-old British fine lines yacht we co-own. I am the treasurer of the London Sailing Club.
