Tessa Shroff
Position
Thanks to her meticulous approach, her dedication, and her ability to handle cases where clients require patience and sensitivity, Tessa has developed a successful practice both defending and prosecuting.
Called in 2009, she consistently holds her own in cases alongside opponents and co-defending counsel who are senior to her in both call and experience. Her list of notable cases below is demonstrative of the sorts of cases she is regularly involved in.
Tessa has been instructed in a number of cases investigated by the Trident Gang Command, and is sought out in cases which require attention to detail as well as frank, tactically astute advice. She is often commended for her role in multi-handed, paper-heavy trials, thanks to her case preparation and her focused handling of the disclosure regime.
Her caring but focused approach, and her reputation for representing vulnerable defendants, have seen her also instructed in complex, specialist cases where clients require patience and sensitivity.
She is heavily involved in training our current pupils in advocacy and practice development, and is a respected and valued member of the junior bar. She continually updates her training, including that regarding vulnerable witnesses.
