Outer Temple Chambers

Barrister; Year of Call 2024.

Sophie is developing a broad practice across Chambers’ specialisms, with particular emphasis on employment and discrimination, public law, commercial law and personal injury and clinical negligence. Sophie joined Chambers in September 2025 following the successful completion of her pupillage.

During her pupillage Sophie was exposed to the full range of Chambers’ core areas. In her first six, she trained in employment and pensions law under the supervision of Naomi Ling, and personal injury and clinical negligence under William Young and Robert Dickason. During her second six, Sophie undertook a seat with Alexander Line in education and public law, and in commercial law under the guidance of Oliver Powell KC.

Before joining chambers, Sophie was a caseworker at a Legal Aid services firm in London, where she specialised in statutory appeals brought under Housing Act 1996. Sophie’s in-depth knowledge of judicial review principles makes her especially well placed to act on matters engaging the crossover between public and private law.

Sophie holds a PhD in modern Spanish and Argentinian literature, which she was awarded by the University of Cambridge in 2019. Prior to achieving her doctorate she attained a first-class degree in Spanish and German at the University of Cambridge, as well as an MPhil in Modern European and Latin American Literature. Thanks to her linguistic background, Sophie has professional fluency in Spanish.

Sophie is also a named contributor to the Fourth Edition of Lissack and Horlick on International Bribery and Corruption, where she helped to draft chapters on Unexplained Wealth Orders and Asset Freezing Orders, and on bribery in the transport and logistics sector.
