She is an extremely fair prosecutor who will take every point that can properly be taken. She works with unfailing courtesy and grace and is an undoubted star of the future."

She was junior counsel to investigations into children in custodial institutions (report published in February 2019), and the second phase of children outside the UK (report published in January 2020).
In 2023, Julia was appointed as junior counsel to the Independent Inquiry relating to Afghanistan, chaired by Lord Justice Haddon-Cave. This statutory inquiry was announced in Parliament by the Secretary of State for Defence in December 2022.
