Nominated for Crime Silk of the Year 2022, Kate is described as “enormously talented, great to work with, down to earth and pragmatic. She has a backbone of steel”. Kate has developed a high profile practice defending and prosecuting in cases requiring considerable skill; “you can have confidence in her judgement. She has an innate ability to laser through the issues and get to the heart of a case”. Kate specialises in serious and complex crime especially homicide but also has many years experience in organised crime, fraud and sexual offences. She is “very organised and knows her field’.

Noted for being a "brave and shrewd tactician" with “an attractively direct style” Kate has a reputation for hard work, excellent client care skills and a willingness to go the extra mile. “Kate is a consummate performer. Nothing fazes her. She is a very strong presence in court who prepares every case extremely thoroughly, trusted by the court, her own team and her professional colleagues.”

Kate is frequently instructed in cases that make new law; Kate was instructed in the first two FGM trials (she prosecuted the first and defended in the second). She was also instructed in the first trial using trafficking legislation against county lines drug dealers and took the case to the Court of Appeal and won. She is "a fine cross examiner" and "a committed and tenacious advocate who will leave no stone unturned to win a case. Unflappable and tactically astute, she can cope with anything."
