has been in practice since the mid 1980s, having started life at the tax bar with a year at Gray’s Inn Tax Chambers as pupil to David Goldberg, Q.C. She has, since pupillage, remained in practice at Gray’s Inn Tax Chambers where she deals with all aspects of revenue law. She took Silk in 2008, becoming the first woman Silk in specialist tax chambers.

She is primarily involved in commercial tax, both in the advisory context and in the context of disputes. On the advisory side, she has been involved in many large city transactions and is routinely involved in private company and business transactions. The disputes side of her practice entails involvement in correspondence, settlement negotiations, and other forms of dispute resolution such as mediation, as well as appearances in tribunals and courts. She has appeared in many leading tax cases in recent years. She also deals with personal taxation, including capital taxation, again in the giving of advice and assisting with the resolution of disputes. 

She is married and has two sons.

Though very approachable and friendly, she is highly competitive. She is keen on most sports: she was a competent horse rider and remains very fond of horses and equestrian sports. She loves music of all kinds: she plays (or rather used to play) the piano to a reasonable standard, but prefers to listen to true musicians.
