Exchange Chambers

Criminal

Called to the Bar in 2019, Anna has quickly established herself as a talented junior with a busy criminal practice, appearing daily in the Crown Court in all stages of the criminal process.

She is regularly instructed to prosecute and defend in a wide range of cases involving:

• Drugs offences
• Assault and other violent offences
• Sexual offences
• Dishonesty offences including burglary and robbery
• Motoring and vehicle offences

Anna is on the approved list of CPS advocates and therefore regularly prosecutes as much as she defends. She also has experience of appellate work having been instructed and assisted in appeals in the Crown Court and the Court of Appeal. Anna’s written advocacy is as strong as her oral advocacy and, as such, she is regularly instructed to produce written advices on a range of matters.

Anna came to the Bar from a successful career in teaching. Having worked for 5 years with 11-18 year olds, she is particularly passionate and adept at working with youths and the vulnerable. Anna has undertaken further training in youth justice and vulnerable witness handling to specialise even further in this area.

Anna is passionate about access to the Bar and continues to speak at panel events to promote equality and diversity in the profession.
