Career

Isobel joined the firm in August 2021 after completing an internship at Olliers in June 2021. Isobel quickly progressed from our Litigation Support team to Paralegal, before beginning her training contract in May 2022. She has now completed her training contract and is looking forward to what’s to come.

Isobel completed her Law degree at the University of Manchester, where she also volunteered at the Legal Advice Centre. She then went on to complete her LPC and joined Olliers soon after. 

Isobel has assisted with both Magistrates and Crown Court cases, as well as gaining experience in DBS and PNC matters. She has also completed her pre-charge accreditation, an area in which Olliers specialises. She is now undergoing her Crown Court internal accreditation.

She is particularly interested in the Magistrates Court and hopes to join this team now that she has completed her training contract. 

Specialisms:

Isobel has been involved with cases at the pre-charge stage during a criminal investigation. She takes a proactive approach during this stage, preparing representations for the police and prosecutors to advise on further lines of enquiry to assist the defence case, and helping to minimise the chances of a prosecution occurring. 

Isobel has also assisted with the preparation of several DBS and PNC cases, in submitting representations to the relevant bodies in relation to resolving these matters for clients.

Isobel is particularly interested in drafting applications to discharge Sexual Harm Prevention Orders.
