During pupillage, Kendal gained experience in copyright and design, trade marks and passing off, confidential information, media and entertainment, patents, and IT. During her second six, Kendal was instructed on various matters in her own right. She is now developing a broad IP practice in line with Chambers' profile.
Kendal graduated from the University of Oxford with a distinction on the BCL. During her time at Oxford, she specialised in IP and Computer Science. She also has a first class law degree from Queen Mary University of London, where she received various awards including the Roger Crane Medal for outstanding academic performance.

Kendal received a full scholarship from Lincoln's Inn for the Bar course and was also a residential scholar of the Inn.
Prior to starting pupillage, Kendal spent some time working in the Copyright and Enforcement Directorate at the IPO. As part of the Digital Technologies Team, her work was focused on the interaction between Artificial Intelligence and IP law.
