"Merry is incredibly hard working. Her analysis is always extremely meticulous and she always has a real sense of how cases will play out which makes her advice on evidence of even more assistance. She is awfully persuasive when on her feet which supplements her outstanding written work. She will rise to the top of the criminal Bar."
Merry prosecuted the first case of alleged bribery in the English football leagues. She has also acted for the Football Association in regulatory cases regarding players and referees alleged to have breached the FA rules (such as Rule E3 breaches).
