Beatrice is developing a broad practice across the range of Chambers’ specialisms and welcomes instructions as both sole and junior counsel. Her practice has a specific focus on group litigation and product liability, commercial and consumer law. She was instructed as  junior counsel for the Claimants in the Volkswagen NOx Litigation until the matter settled in 2022 and continues to represent the Claimants in the Pan NOx emissions litigation. As sole counsel Beatrice has built significant experience of consumer credit work and is regularly instructed by well-known banks and financial providers in unfair relationship claims made on various grounds from alleged undisclosed and secret commission claims arising out of PPI Policies covering credit card, mortgage and loan agreements to allegations of fiduciary breach in loan broker and motor finance commission contexts. Often she represents Defendant banks against consumer litigants in person making a broad range of complaints both at trial and interim hearings. She has spent time seconded part-time to the Financial Services Disputes and Investigations team of a major firm.

Recent work has also included representing mortgage providers in residential property proceedings and a family business in a High Court action to claim under an indemnity for tax liabilities.

Beatrice has gained advisory and litigation experience in the County and High Court across the practice areas of Chambers, and accepts instructions in Commercial Litigation, Group Litigation, Product Liability, Consumer Credit, and Property.
