Sally has more than twenty years’ experience providing advocacy and advice across a broad range of chancery litigation, with particular emphasis on real property and both commercial and residential landlord and tenant matters.
She has appeared in courts and tribunals at all levels, including the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal.
Confident and assured in court and on paper, Sally is noted for her thoroughness, down-to-earth approach, strong legal knowledge and courtroom ability. The directories highlight her capacity to “sail through complex issues with calmness and confidence” and praise her “passionate and engaging style of advocacy”. She is excellent with clients, easy to work with, and described as “approachable, empathetic, insightful and … clear.”
A strong believer in access to justice for all, Sally is a long-standing member of the Islington Legal Advice Centre through which she continues to provide advice and assistance to law centre attendees. She also volunteers for the CLIPS scheme, providing advice and advocacy assistance to litigants in person in the interim applications court at the Rolls Building.
She writes regularly on topics within her practice areas and is a frequent contributor to the Landlord and Tenant Review, most recently with a consideration of Lowe v Charterhouse (“Mick McCarthy, Miss Marple, and the Art of Statutory Interpretation”) an article on the niceties of notices to quit and the implications of Hounslow v Pilling, and a review of the second edition of Jonathan Karas KC’s The Law of Rights of Light.
