St Philips Chambers

Crime & Regulatory

Annabel specialises in crime and regulatory law. Since taking tenancy in October 2024, she has developed a busy practice, regularly receiving instructions from both prosecution and defence in the Crown Court, Youth Court, and Magistrates Court. Annabel’s confident yet approachable manner enables her to build rapport with professional and lay clients alike.

Her criminal practice demonstrates experience in a wide range of cases, including firearms offences, serious violence, PWITS and sexual offences. She also has experience working with vulnerable individuals, representing clients with significant mental health or psychiatric issues and cross-examining vulnerable witnesses who require intermediaries.

As part of her regulatory practice, Annabel is instructed to prosecute and defend for food hygiene and environmental offences. She has a particular interest in inquests, having represented private hospitals whose consultants are required to give evidence in the proceedings.

Outside of work, Annabel is a theatre enthusiast and keen baker. She has been known to bake for her colleagues – if they’re lucky!
