| Full CV |
 |
A leading criminal practitioner and now appointed (first Asian female) Treasury Counsel who currently conducts trials of serious crime predominantly at the Central Criminal Court.
In the last two years her trials have been primarily in murder and terrorism. Her particular expertise lies in legally and factually grave, complex and sensitive issues and multi-party trials. She has acted as independent counsel on a range of matters particularly LPP.
She is often instructed to advise throughout the investigation process in serious cases on behalf of the SFO and CPS Special Casework as well as the usual treasury counsel streams of instruction. In addition she advises corporate entities on a range of crime and quasi-crime matters. She is a member of the Advocacy Training Council. She is cited in Chambers and Partners Guide as a leading junior; and in The Legal 500 as "possessing a strong advisory and adversarial practice of the highest quality such that she must surely take silk".
