Outside of her children law practice, Victoria is regularly instructed in injunction applications arising from domestic violence. She also has some experience in ancillary relief and claims brought under the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act.

In all areas of her family practice, Victoria strives to offer a service to clients which is simultaneously robust and sensitive to the emotional difficulties inherent in family cases.

Victoria also has a mixed court/ paperwork civil practice which incorporates all aspects of Personal Injury work as well as an extensive range of other civil disputes.

Victoria also appears at Employment Tribunals on behalf of both Claimants and Defendants.

Victoria benefited from a pupillage in Chambers which exposed her to a wide range of criminal work and the opportunity to develop her advocacy and case preparation style under the guidance of highly experienced criminal practitioners. Since this time she has honed these skills by appearing regularly in both the Magistrates and Crown Court, for both prosecution and defence.
