Emma Favata
Garden Court Chambers
Alison Seaman
Doughty Street ChambersShe is exceptionally knowledgeable and bright, leaves no stone unturned in her analysis, has a calm and diligent way of working, coming up with razor-sharp arguments that somehow manage to cut through layers of complexity to a clear solution. She is very empathetic and gentle with clients, but fearsome in the courtroom, disarming defendants with her calm and considered yet potent arguments. In her written and oral communications and her advocacy, I cannot fault her. She is also a pleasure to work with, and clients really warm to her.
