Career
Call : 2010
Natasha is consistently ranked as a leading junior in Chambers UK and Legal 500 and is often instructed as sole counsel in high value, multifaceted litigation. She also has experience of acting as junior to senior counsel on particularly complex matters and being instructed as part of a team of counsel on large scale, high value and document-heavy government disputes. Natasha has been published in the Trusts and Estates Law & Tax Journal several times.
Natasha’s expertise extends across the main areas of commercial and chancery law. She is particularly well-placed to assist on matters involving an overlap between her specialisms. Natasha regularly appears in the Business and Property Courts and has also appeared before various tribunals. She is accustomed to representing clients at trials, appeals and urgent applications such as ex parte injunctions, often appearing against significantly more senior opponents. She has undertaken numerous mediations and joint settlement meetings as counsel and is also an accredited mediator.
Natasha won the Bristol Law Society’s “Barrister of the Year 2017” Award. The judges were said to be “struck by her apparent maturity with her work”. She was described as “an excellent lawyer and pleasant to deal with” and “one to watch”. Within her first five months of tenancy she was successful in an application for permission to appeal and an appeal concerning errors of law and fact.
