Victoria Ellis –Pump Court Chambers ‘Cutting through the madness and getting to the heart of cases is Victoria's specialty. She provides an exemplary service whilst also managing clients' expectations. Her cross-examination is so clever and articulate that often the witness does not realise they have divulged something until it is too late.'
