Nicola joined Chambers in October 2017 after completing a 10-month pupillage under the supervision of Deputy Head of Chambers, Patrick Cassidy.
After completing her BPTC Nicola took a gap year, travelling extensively in Australia, New Zealand and south-east Asia. She took advantage of her time abroad by completing placements with various private Chambers as well as a period working with the Department of Public Prosecutions in New South Wales, Australia.

Nicola practices in civil litigation, criminal and family law and is keen to build her practice further in those areas.
