My Journey in Chambers

​​

Since stepping into my first set of chambers in 2003, I’ve always believed the legal industry is special. There’s a profound sense of integrity and honour in being a barrister—or in being part of the team that supports them.

​

I feel as though I grew up in chambers.

On my first day, as an ambitious yet directionless 18-year-old in an ill-fitting suit, I felt like the new boy at a prestigious school. But through the guidance of generous mentors, tough teachers, and a mix of triumphs and challenges, I found my path.

​

I’ve been fortunate to work alongside some of the greatest clerks and barristers of our time. I’ve supported barristers at all stages of their careers—helping them build and rebuild their practices, navigate transitions, and achieve milestones.

​

One of my proudest achievements came in my final two years in chambers, when I oversaw six successful silk applications within my team of 24 barristers. Five of those new KCs were women, and five came from ethnic minority backgrounds.

 

Beyond professional accolades, I take deep pride in supporting barristers and clerks through life’s complexities—whether it’s navigating mental health challenges, career transitions, or significant life changes such as becoming parents.
