Following the successful completion of my pupillage, I am delighted to have become a tenant at Crown Office Chambers. I accept instructions across all of Chambers’ core areas of practice including commercial litigation, insurance, property damage, construction, professional negligence, and clinical negligence. Prior to coming to the Bar, I graduated from the University of Oxford with a First Class BA in French and German. I subsequently completed an MA Law (Conversion) at the University of Law for which I was awarded a Distinction, as well as the Dean's Award for best overall performance in my cohort. I went on to complete an LLM Master of Laws with selected papers including International Trade Law and Medical Law. I was delighted to be awarded a Distinction, with high Distinction marks achieved in all papers taken.My legal education was funded by scholarships from the Honourable Society of the Inner Temple. I was awarded the Duke of Edinburgh Entrance Award, a Major Scholarship, and an Exhibition Scholarship. A private sponsor funded my LLM. Alongside my legal studies, I participated in mooting, mock trials, and debating and was successful in numerous competitions, including winning the Aqeel H. Noorali Moot Cup, the Oxford Bar Society Non-Law Moot, and the KCL x 2 Hare Court Mock Trial. I was honoured to serve as President of the Inner Temple Debating Society from 2022-23.In preparation for pupillage, I completed the Bar Course at the Inns of Court College of Advocacy, and Qualifying Sessions at the Inner Temple. I was Called to the Bar in October 2023.Throughout my pupillage year, I gained exposure to Chambers’ key practice areas and had the opportunity to complete extensive amounts of work for my supervisors and other members of Chambers. During my second six, I appeared in court extensively in my own right and began developing the paper-based side of my practice. More information is provided in the Experience section below.I am delighted to have completed Advocate's Pupil Pledge during pupillage, which involved completing a piece of pro-bono written advice.
