Eleanor Fargin (Ellie) has acquired a reputation that she is rightly proud of as being fair, likeable, straight forward, having sound judgment, all whilst exceeding the standards required of her as an advocate.

Ellie started her career on the Western Circuit in 2004, specialising in crime and developing a practice in prosecution and defence work. In 2007 Ellie joined the CPS as an in-house advocate and quickly secured an exclusive Crown Court practice. Ellie was fortunate to have exposure to a high case load, cases of importance and was also able to develop her trial advocacy competence. Ellie’s drive to further herself as well as her skills and experience, opened doors for her to prosecute cases of length, complexity and standing.

In 2012 Ellie was appointed a Grade 3 and covered a vast amount of RASSO work. During internal and external advocacy assessments, Ellie was noted to be capable of working beyond what was expected of her at Grade 3; and in performance reviews noted as being an asset to the CPS.

In 2015 Ellie’s family relocated to the Cayman Islands in the British West Indies. This brought the opportunity to work for the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions in this important financial jurisdiction. There was more variety in Ellie’s work there as she became responsible for all planning enforcement, environmental, and agricultural prosecutions, as well as working in inquests, and in trade and business cases. Ellie has therefore developed a sound understanding of regulatory crime. In terms of general crime, Ellie continued to specialise in sexual offences, drug trafficking, International legal assistance, and restraint and confiscation.

Having returned to the Western Circuit and having joined Chambers in 2018 Ellie continues to strive for excellence as a general criminal and regulatory practitioner. Ellie is a CPS grade 4 prosecutor and is on the RASSO list, she was also appointed to the list of Specialist Regulatory Advocates in Health and Safety and Environmental Law. As a Defence Advocate Ellie has demonstrated that she is respected and liked by clients  as she builds rapport quickly and effectively. Ellie has the confidence of the Solicitors she has worked for as she is efficient, competent and goes the extra mile. To enhance her personal development Ellie has undertaken training to become an advocacy assessor for pupils on the Western Circuit and to become a Pupil Supervisor.
