Red Lion Chambers

Having been a specialist advocate in serious, financial and regulatory crime for many years with significant experience of exceedingly large, multi-handed and complex cases, Hannah has now decided to dedicate the majority of her time to teaching at University College London (UCL) where she is a Lecturer (Teaching).  She will continue, however, to maintain an advisory practice in Chambers.

Repeatedly recommended as a junior, as well as a New Silk in Chambers UK for her work in criminal fraud / financial crime, Hannah is cited as being ‘always so cerebral and thoughtful’, 'a first-class advocate and excellent lawyer, whose attention to detail is of the highest order', 'incredibly bright', 'very strong' and 'highly efficient'.

Acknowledged as having a "remarkable capacity for mastering volumes of material", Hannah is also extremely adept at addressing intricate issues of  fact and law. Highly organised and efficient, she is recognised for her "methodical" thinking and diligence.
