Having been a specialist advocate in serious, financial and regulatory crime for many years with significant experience of exceedingly large, multi-handed and complex cases, Hannah has now decided to dedicate the majority of her time to teaching at University College London (UCL) where she is a Lecturer (Teaching).  She will continue, however, to maintain an advisory practice in Chambers.
