Career

In recent years, Lia’s practice has focussed on consumer law primarily in the context of mass claims and group actions.

She is currently instructed in several sets of mass claims involving consumer credit and consumer contract law. Many of these claims involve allegations of (i) defective products (ranging from sofas to medical devices), (ii) the mis-selling of products (ranging from credit and insurance products to solar panels and timeshares), (iii) connected lender liability (i.e. under sections 56 and 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974), (iv) unfairness under section 140A of the 1974 Act, and/or (v) prohibited practices under the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008.

Lia is also currently instructed on behalf of the Defendants in the Mercedes Benz NOx Emissions Litigation.

Lia also has experience in employment, personal injury, public law, property and insolvency matters. She is able to accept instructions in those additional areas.

The breadth of her experience (and its focus on court work) means that she is an experienced advocate able to deliver an effective and comprehensive service to her clients which draws on her experience of multiple practice areas and of all stages of the dispute resolution process (from pre-issue and interim hearings, through to trial and enforcement).

In 2018, Lia undertook a six-month placement as a Judicial Assistant in the Commercial Court. She gained valuable experience of complex commercial trials, the full range of applications (e.g. jurisdictional disputes, freezing orders, search orders and disclosure) and an insight into the inner workings of the Court.  Lia also has experience of appellate work, having undertaken a similar placement in the Court of Appeal before starting pupillage.

Before her placement at the Court of Appeal, Lia worked as a Research Assistant in the Commercial and Common Law team at the Law Commission. She also worked for three years at LawWorks, developing and managing a national pro bono advice project.
