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.
‘Hugely knowledgeable in telecoms beyond her year of call and very easy to work with. She is really good with clients and very willing to get stuck into a matter at short notice and help out instructing solicitors.’
