Practice Areas

Having been a specialist advocate in serious, financial and regulatory crime for many years with significant experience of exceedingly large, multi-handed and complex cases, Hannah has now decided to dedicate the majority of her time to teaching at University College London (UCL) where she is a Lecturer (Teaching) in Criminal Law and Criminal Processes. She will continue, however, to maintain an advisory practice.

Hannah is cited as being ‘always so cerebral and thoughtful and takes such an intellectual approach to the cases she runs’, 'a first-class advocate and excellent lawyer, whose attention to detail is of the highest order', ‘extremely bright and conscientious’ and ‘an exceptionally able advocate’. Acknowledged as having “a remarkable capacity for mastering volumes of material”, Hannah is also extremely adept at addressing intricate issues of fact and law. Highly organised and efficient, she is recognised for her “methodical” thinking and diligence and her ability to ‘handle difficult cases well’.
