Lucy is a specialist criminal barrister.
She undertakes all areas of criminal work, both prosecuting and defending.

She has a busy criminal practice, and is instructed in the full range of offences (sexual offences, offences of violence, traffic offences, drugs, and dishonesty). She is regularly instructed in the Courts Martial.
