Charlotte has a broad civil practice, with a particular emphasis on Costs and Litigation Funding, Personal Injury, Commercial Litigation, Insurance, and Housing. Charlotte routinely appears unled in the High Court, tackling complex procedural issues, and is ranked in the Legal 500 as a “Rising Star” in Costs and Litigation Funding. In her first few years of practice, Charlotte has already been instructed in four reported cases, one of which was an unled case in the High Court concerning CPR Part 36.
She has recently been instructed in the Supreme Court as second junior counsel to the RHA, led by PJ Kirby KC, in the case of R (on the application of PACCAR Inc and others) (Appellants) v Competition Appeal Tribunal and others (Respondents) [2023] UKSC 28 – a case concerning third party litigation funding (with billion-pound implications), which featured in The Lawyer as one of the Top 10 Appeal cases of 2023. She has extensive experience of witness handling and trial advocacy, having acted as sole counsel in trials pleaded up to half a million pounds.
Prior to joining Chambers, Charlotte had a successful career in sales for many years, specialising in documentary sales. She was a tenacious negotiator in senior account management roles across the Media, Technology, Science, and Healthcare sectors in international markets.
Following her MPhil at the University of Cambridge, she was invited to deliver her MPhil research in a lecture at the Royal Academy of Arts, which spurred an interest in public speaking. She also spent half a year travelling solo around the world to photograph unusual libraries and bookshops, including the Liyuan Library in the mountains of China, and the oldest library in Uruguay.
