36 Crime
Diana primarily practices in the areas of serious, and organised crime and cases involving complex or novel legal issues. She is particularly noted for her attention to detail when preparing large multi-handed cases and for her calm and focused approach under pressure. She is often instructed in cases involving complex or novel human rights arguments.
Her years working internationally have given her an exceptional ability to handle voluminous and complex cases and advise at an early stage in relation to lengthy investigations.
When defending she is particularly noted for her forensic pursuit of relevant disclosure. She also has a particular interest in cases involving complex technical and/or telephone evidence.
Diana is an experienced advocate who varies her style as the case requires; from being described by one of her opponents as having a calm, measured and fair approach when prosecuting, to being described by one of her instructing solicitors when defending as ‘a bulldog’, to being sensitive and nuanced when advising the most vulnerable of clients or examining young witnesses.
