Jodie regularly appears in both the Crown Court and the Magistrates’ Court. She mainly defends but she also has experience prosecuting. A recent case concerned a

two-day multi-handed GBH and the sexual assault of a vulnerable teenager with learning difficulties. Prior to the commencement of her pupillage, Jodie worked for a number of years at various solicitors’ firms, specialising in fraud and confiscation. She is currently on secondment at Kingsley Napley, helping to prepare the defence case for Rebekah Brooks in the News International phone hacking trial.

Jodie has an interest in continuing her work in fraud and confiscation,  and has a strong commitment to representing defendants vulnerable through age, mental health and other incapacity.
