Position

Harriet joined Lamb Chambers in May 2021 after commencing her practice at a set focused on commercial and aviation work based in the Temple. Harriet’s practice entails a broad range of areas of law, including General Commercial, Aviation & Travel, Property, and Personal Injury. Harriet has an extensive experience appearing in the County Court for small claims and fast-track trials, as well as dealing with applications, CMCs, and costs budgeting for larger cases.

Harriet has been instructed in civil forfeiture matters resisting applications for frozen monies in excess of £1million, in which Harriet defended against the claim that the sums had been obtained via fraud by false representation, pursuant to the Fraud Act 2006. Harriet has assisted more senior members, including conducting legal research and drafting witness statements as well as written submissions for a third-party in a confiscation POCA matter, in order to determine the extent of the defendant’s interest in the property.

As a passionate advocate for equality and diversity, Harriet has previously given talks to university students and aspiring barristers, such as ‘Being BAME at the Bar’, in order to promote and further inclusion at the Bar.
