She has already been led by senior members of the Commercial Team, in high value unfair prejudice petitions.

Lottie is regularly instructed in Small Claims and Fast Track matters in the County Court, together with interim applications in the High Court. As part of her advisory and drafting work, Lottie has settled pleadings and advice notes in small claims as well as high-value cases, and is regularly instructed to deal with cases involving:

Lottie has been instructed to appear in several one-day and multi-day employment tribunal hearings, and her drafting and advisory work captures the full suite of employment and discrimination litigation.
