Pump Court Chambers

Emily Lanham is an established advocate, regularly instructed to prosecute and defend a wide range of criminal cases and regulatory matters.

She has acted as led junior and junior alone in complex drug matters, serious violence, fraud, modern slavery and trafficking. Recent instructions include attempted murder, evasion of duty, fraudulent trading, HSE matters, human trafficking, and kidnapping.

Emily takes pride in working collaboratively with those instructing her, and she is praised for her sensitive approach to cases involving vulnerable witnesses and defendants.

In a previous career Emily was Director of a social-mobility charity, supported by the UK Supreme Court, which gave young people from diverse backgrounds opportunities to break down barriers to the legal profession. She also worked internationally on several projects including an EU-wide approach to the anti-radicalisation of young people; and in India, on a “legal literacy” project at the National University for Judicial Studies.
