Marie is often instructed in defence matters beyond her call and in recent years, Marie has expanded her defence practice to cover the full range of criminal cases, including Conspiracy to Murder, Rape, Serious sexual assaults on children and vulnerable adults, Serious assaults, Armed Robbery, Firearms offences and multi-handed drugs conspiracies.   Marie is also currently instructed as Junior Counsel for Phase 2 of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry.

Marie has a particular talent for engaging with vulnerable clients and/or witnesses and is skilled at providing clear, sensible advice in a manner that engenders trust and inspires confidence.  In Court, Marie establishes a rapport with juries through her measured and calm approach – she argues robustly on behalf of clients without losing the sympathy of her tribunal.  She does not shy away from legal argument and presents both written and oral advocacy with confidence.  The Court of Appeal has praised her for her “helpful and succinct argument” and persuasiveness.

Marie has a reputation as a fair prosecutor and has recently been elevated to the Grade 3 panel.  Recent prosecutions include Sexual Assault, Conspiracy to commit Fraud by False Representation, Robbery, Burglary, weapons offences and revenge porn offences.

Marie also accepts instructions in Prison Law and Mental Health Tribunals. Marie is proud to work within the publicly funded Bar and to accept instructions in legal aid cases.

Marie was the first member of her family to attend university; she feels strongly about social mobility and improving access to the Bar and plays an integral role within our Pupillage and New Tenants Committee and speaking at events organised by the Inns and law schools to encourage young people of all backgrounds to consider a career at the Bar.

Marie is a member of the Criminal Bar Association’s Social Mobility Committee and a Mentor for the Young Legal Aid Lawyers. She has been a Pupil Supervisor since 2020.
