Individual Editorial

Harriet Wakeman acts for bereaved families and as counsel to the inquest and inquiry, as well as for government departments. Notable mandates she has engaged in include the Cranston Inquiry and the Dawn Sturgess Inquiry.

Strengths

Everything was remarkably well prepared. Harriet is very smart and has the ability to spot issues, and deal with them, before others are aware.

Harriet Wakeman is smart and on it. She is really becoming an expert.

I was very impressed with Harriet as a junior. She really gets on top of the subject matter quickly, and her work product has always been rigorously researched and word perfect.

Harriet really knows her way around inquests and inquiries.

Individual Editorial

Harriet Wakeman is a highly regarded junior who has specific expertise in the intersection of UK and EU law. She is a member of the Attorney General's C Panel.

Strengths

She is one of the best juniors I have worked with. She provides sterling service and superb analysis, and is loved by clients.

She is exceptional - very intelligent, and as an opponent she is someone that you cannot help but respect. Her drafting skills are quite exceptional. She's the council of choice for complex cases.

I am constantly amazed by her ability to get on top of materials. She also has very close attention to detail. She captures every point and provides very high-quality legal analysis.
