Holly joined Chambers as a pupil after successful completion of the MLaw Exempting (Bar Course) at Northumbria University. Holly achieved a First Class Honours degree, along with a Distinction in all Bar Course modules. She was Called to the Bar in October 2023 by Gray’s Inn.
Prior to joining Chambers, Holly has worked for Newcastle City Council in their Legal Services department, both in Children’s Social Care and Housing and Litigation. Holly started as a Legal Assistant in Children’s Social Care, which focused primarily on public children law. She gained in-depth experience from a local authority point of view and is keen to grow her knowledge and practice in this area.
Holly then joined the Housing and Litigation team in the role of Assistant Lawyer, dealing mainly with Housing Disrepair cases. She managed a very busy workload, taking cases from pre-action stage through to issue of proceedings and settlement. She also took opportunities to explore other areas, such as anti-social behaviour, when her workload allowed.
