Leading Silks
Kate Burnell KC
St John’s Buildings
 'Kate's communication on cases is excellent, and she is always available to assist with queries, offer advice, and arrange conferences to discuss developments. She provides robust advice with clear paths forward, and her composed and measured approach to cross-examination is second-to-none.'
Lorraine Cavanagh KC
St John’s Buildings
 'Lorraine's finger-tip knowledge of the law is envied by many and her written work is exceptional. A fearless opponent who tackles the seemingly unwinnable, often with surprising results.'
Frances Heaton KC
St John’s Buildings
‘Frances is approachable above anything else, as well as friendly, helpful, and deals with her work with compassion and humour, which is very welcome. She responds quickly to difficult situations which arise in complex cases and she is very clear in her advice.’
Karl Rowley KC
St John’s Buildings
 'Karl combines intellectual acumen of the first order with beguiling advocacy, which has judges, witnesses, and opponents alike carried along to where he wants to take them. He is of that rare breed where you find yourself taking note of what he has said not just for the purposes of the case he is speaking about but to be able to use it yourself in other cases.'
