An ambitious, learned and quick-witted junior.'

Sarah is very quick to digest complex information and her advice is fantastic - she cuts through the issues and presents them in a very clear, concise way, always providing solutions.'
Rising stars
Rising stars at the Bar are defined as barristers between four and eight years’ call who are seen as up-and-coming members of the Bar in their respective practice areas by clients and peers alike. They will already be instructed in high-profile, complex, and high-value contentious and non-contentious matters, working with and opposite more experienced leading counsel.
Sam Fowles
Sam is incredibly tenacious. He has an encyclopaedic knowledge of constitutional legal positions that he is able to draw upon with apparent ease to make coherent and compelling arguments. He is very impressive and punches above his year of call.’
