Fountain Court Chambers

Marianne is an experienced commercial barrister, who has a core specialism in professional regulation and discipline. She is held in the highest regard by clients and described in the directories as a “star”.  In addition to regularly acting for the regulators, Marianne has considerable expertise in undertaking highly discreet investigations and defence work for city firms and individuals in respect of complaints made against them, and in defending tribunal proceedings, alongside advising a wide range of firms with regards to ongoing regulatory/risk compliance in all regulatory fields.  Whilst the nature of the work is by its nature typically highly confidential, Marianne is an experienced practitioner in the field and, as a result, is frequently invited to speak at regulatory conferences and to conduct training for professionals on all issues arising in this area. As a skilled cross-examiner and advocate, Marianne prides herself on working tirelessly for her clients in handling what are often highly stressful cases requiring particularly sensitive attention and care.
