Celine's caseload includes sexual, drugs and violent offences. She has a strong practice in both prosecution and defence work; and is a Grade 2 Prosecutor. Celine is adept at witness-handling and cross-examination, having completed the Vulnerable Witness Advocacy Training Course, focusing on Ground Rules Hearings and s.28 hearings. She continues to be instructed in sexual offence cases of the most serious nature, and often concerning child witnesses. Prior to coming to the Bar, Celine undertook specialist training in partnership with Rape Crisis, supporting witnesses within sexual offence trials.

She possesses an acute ability to tailor her advocacy to suit her tribunal, coupled with thinking effectively on her feet. Celine continues to be committed to securing the best possible outcome for both professional and lay clients, and often receives positive judicial feedback in doing so.
