Exchange Chambers

Commercial; Insolvency; Property

Eleanor is a prominent senior junior dealing with substantial pieces of commercial, property and insolvency litigation.

She is widely recognised as a leading commercial junior, consistently ranked in the legal directories for many years across the spheres of Commercial, Chancery, Restructuring and Insolvency and Real Estate Litigation. She has been described variously as “a joy to work with”, “a formidable advocate” and “a direct and focused barrister” who is “unflappable”, with her advocacy skills and ability to think quickly being “second-to-none”.

Eleanor has a busy and thriving commercial practice focusing upon all aspects of company, insolvency, property and professional liability arising from those areas.

She regularly appears in lengthy and complex Trials in the High Court and has been instructed in the Court of Appeal, appearing un-led several times.

Eleanor is praised by peers and colleagues alike as a robust and persuasive courtroom advocate, who is always thorough, measured and approachable. She welcomes early involvement, recognising that, in fast-paced commercial litigation, early input from experienced Counsel is essential – and Eleanor is highly experienced at providing commercial and pragmatic advice.

As of October 2025, Eleanor sits upon the Board of Exchange Chambers.
