Kate Parker joined chambers in October 2016, having successfully completed her pupillage. She appears in both Magistrates Courts and the Crown Court, and represents prisoners serving IPP sentences before Parole Boards. Kate is a CPS Panel Advocate (level 1).

Prior to pupillage, Kate worked as a paralegal at Peters & Peters where she assisted on a number of cross-jurisdictional asset-freezing cases, a review of a multinational company’s internal anti-bribery and corruption policies, and drafted speeches for conferences including the American Bar Association (ABA) and the Bar Association for Commerce, Finance & Industry (BACFI). Kate also founded the Schools Consent Project - a charity which delivers workshops to 11-18 year olds on the legal definition of consent, key sexual offences, ‘sexting’ and ‘revenge porn’. Since its inaugural workshop in March 2015, the Schools Consent Project has delivered workshops to over 4000 students at schools across the UK, including Westminster, Godolphin & Latymer and Eton College.
