Crime

Eleanor has a depth and breadth of practise far beyond her call. She has a complex criminal caseload that spans across offences of serious violence, drugs and those of a sexual nature. Outstanding feedback has been received from her professional clients and members of the judiciary for her natural and thoughtful approach to her work.

As an advocate, Eleanor adopts a customary calm and confident manner which wins the approval of Judges and juries alike. Her ability to analyse and explain complex evidential and disclosure issues has added to her ability to be a highly effective jury advocate. She is an equally persuasive advocate in written and in oral litigation.

Eleanor has experience of being a disclosure junior, and in being led in complex multi-handed cases in which she has proved herself to be an efficient and well prepared junior. She has taken part in conferences relating to highly sensitive material and is aware of the duties and obligations which arise in such cases. She has a very natural and thoughtful approach to discussions with investigators and instructing lawyers, which is invaluable in making the most of pre-trial planning and discussions.

Eleanor prosecutes and defends in equal measure. She is confident in representing clients in the Youth Court, conducting section 28 hearings of vulnerable parties in the Crown Court, and advocating for those with protected characteristics and mental health conditions.

She has experience of being instructed by the Environment Agency, Local Authorities, the Financial Conduct Authority, Government Legal Department, Abattoirs, the Health and Safety Executive and the Police. Her regulatory experience expands across cases involving firearms appeals, taxi appeals, cases brought under the Health and Safety at Work etc Act and in multi agency prosecutions.

Eleanor has an ability to analyse and explain complex evidential and disclosure issues which has added to her ability to be a highly effective advocate. She is an equally persuasive advocate in written and in oral litigation.
