Career
Call : 2021
Kayleigh joined Chambers in October 2022 following the successful completion of her specialist commercial and chancery pupillage. She accepts instructions across all main areas of this practice group. Kayleigh’s pupil supervisors were Charlie Newington-Bridges and Christopher Jones.
Kayleigh frequently appears trials, to include small claims and fast-track matters covering all areas of commercial and chancery law such as contract, construction, and boundary disputes. Kayleigh also welcomes instructions for pleadings and advice across all areas of Chambers’ commercial and chancery practice group in addition to her court practice.
She has appeared and advised on a range of interim procedural hearings such as applications to strike out claims, applications for summary judgment, injunctions, and pre-action disclosure applications. Kayleigh has also recently been instructed as English Counsel alongside Alex Troup in respect of offshore contentious probate litigation. She is keen to grow her offshore practice.
Landlord and tenant work is also commonplace for Kayleigh, she regularly appears in possession proceedings and advises on various aspects of housing law in both England and Wales. Kayleigh previously volunteered for The Leasehold Advisory Service preparing case summaries for publication on their website.
Prior to starting pupillage, Kayleigh worked for a legal expenses insurer advising on the prospects of success of their insured’s claims and also for a commercial law firm in Cardiff, where she worked closely with a Partner on a high-value, complex civil fraud matter.
