Advocate of the Year
Winner: Charlotte Proudman, Goldsmith Chambers
Shortlist: Elaine Banton, 7BR Chambers; Saima Hanif KC, 3VB; Sarah Pinder, Goldsmith Chambers
Charlotte Proudman is a barrister at Goldsmith Chambers working in family law, specialising in the area of male violence against females in precedent-setting cases involving rape, sexual abuse, domestic abuse and coercive and controlling behaviour. In her work representing Kate Griffiths MP, she was successful in allowing Ms Griffiths (now Kate Kniveton) to recount the abuse she suffered from her ex-husband and former MP Andrew Griffiths. With victims of domestic abuse sometimes ordered to financially contribute to the perpetrator’s costs of supervised or supported contact, Proudman successfully appealed to the High Court against such an order, which became a guidance case. Proudman also works to improve equality and diversity in the profession by providing mentoring to women and girls to become barristers. “Successful work as an advocate in an area of particular interest to women,” a judge said.
