Natalie is an advocate who goes above and beyond for her clients. She is adept at representing those who are vulnerable, particularly those with mental health issues. Natalie’s down-to-earth approach combined with her passion for justice and human rights inspires trust and confidence in her clients. Natalie’s experience in a number of areas of law can assist where creative legal arguments could be put forward or where a holistic understanding of a client’s issues is required.
Natalie is currently instructed in the Undercover Policing Inquiry as part of the team of junior counsel representing the Co-Operating Group of Non-Police, Non-State Core Participants.
Natalie’s housing law practice includes possession claims, unlawful evictions and matters involving disrepair (including prviate prosecutions brought in the magistrates’ court under section 82 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990). As a result of her previous practice in criminal law, Natalie is particularly sought after where there is a clear intersection between housing law and criminal law, to the extent of being approached and instructed directly by the Court of Appeal when these areas merge. Natalie also has experience challenging housing law decisions on public law grounds, including by way of s.204 appeals and judicial review.
In terms of inquests, Natalie has particular experience representing families in cases where the deceased was suffering from mental health issues (including in police custody and prison environments).
