Katherine Ballinger

 Katherine joined Chambers in 2011 upon successful completion of pupillage, during which she gained experience in a wide range of Chancery and Commercial areas.  She continues to undertake Chancery and Commercial work, and also undertakes Personal Injury, Employment, and Housing work.

With a practice that spans different disciplines, Katherine is well-placed to undertake work that involves overlap between practice areas or contains elements of complexity.

Katherine is happy to undertake work on an urgent basis, and is happy to discuss matters informally before the receipt of instructions. Katherine undertakes a wide variety of advocacy work, including small claims, trials, interim hearings, and applications. She recently successfully defended an unlawful eviction claim which involved allegations of harassment and the failure to return a deposit.

Prior to joining Chambers, Katherine was a full-time PhD student at the University of Bristol under a School of Law scholarship, and was tutor in Trusts Law at the University of Bristol. She continues to work on her thesis, ‘The Fiduciary Status of Constructive Trustees’.
