Jennifer MacLeod

In my experience, Jenny's principal strengths lie in her calm and measured approach, her close attention to detail, and her sound judgment. She is consistently well prepared and engages carefully with the evidential record and the nuances of the case. This attention to detail translates into clear and reliable advice and recommendations. She is also flexible and pragmatic in her approach, adapting effectively as matters develop and responding constructively to changing instructions. She works collaboratively with the instructing team and communicates well with clients. In terms of advocacy, I have worked with Jenny on a number of complex, challenging, and high-profile cases; she has always been an effective and persuasive advocate whose style is controlled rather than confrontational. She advances arguments with clarity and precision and is able to make her points with force but without overstatement, thus quickly building and maintaining credibility. In short, she is excellent. I have not identified any weaknesses in her performance in the matters on which I have instructed her. Her style is deliberately understated; forceful but not aggressive, and is very effective in advancing the client’s position.
