A Presiding Judge of the North Eastern Circuit
Royal Courts of Justice

I practised as a barrister, specialising in criminal cases and inquests, before becoming a judge in 2012. In 2015, I was appointed as Recorder of London, the senior permanent judge at the Old Bailey.

I became a High Court Judge in 2019 and a Presiding Judge of the North Eastern Circuit in 2021.

I have served as a trustee of Crisis, the homelessness charity, and of the Ben Kinsella Trust, a knife crime charity. I am a trustee of No Going Back, a prison charity, and a member of the charitable foundation of the Vintners Company.
