Alethea is developing a broad practice across the span of Chambers’ core areas, with an emphasis on insurance and reinsurance, construction, professional negligence, property damage, product liability, commercial disputes, inquests and inquiries, clinical negligence, and personal injury.

She is a robust advocate with a busy court practice, appearing in a variety of hearings and applications either remotely or in person every week. She is good on her feet and prides herself on working effectively with others.

Alethea balances her court work with a growing paperwork practice. At all stages of litigation, she is able to provide clear, practical advice and concise drafting work, including in circumstances where a quick turnaround is required.

Before studying law, Alethea read English Language & Literature at New College, Oxford, where she graduated with a First Class degree and an award for her performance in final examinations from New. She then completed her legal studies at City University and BPP University with postgraduate scholarships from both institutions, as well as the Lord Haldane and Lord Denning Scholarships from Lincoln’s Inn.

Before commencing pupillage, Alethea undertook an internship at the UN Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals, and later worked as a researcher and reviewer for the team representing the largest group of survivors and victims’ families involved in the Grenfell Tower Inquiry.
