Lucy joined Cobden House as a tenant following the successful completion of her pupillage under the supervision of Peter Edwards and Chloe Murray. During pupillage, Lucy gained experience across a wide range of practice areas, including personal injury, medical negligence, inquests, human rights, and employment law.

She benefited from a particularly busy pupillage, attending conferences and hearings in complex brain injury litigation, cases involving public bodies in both civil and inquest jurisdictions, fast-track fraud matters, RTA hearings, and a variety of other contested applications. She also developed a strong drafting practice throughout this period.

Before joining Chambers, Lucy worked in-house as an advocate at an internationally renowned solicitors’ firm, forming part of a team of barristers exercising rights of audience in the County Court.
