Tara has developed a successful mixed civil / family law practice since her call to the Bar in 2005. She has a particularly strong presence in employment law, general civil and commercial law and personal injury claims. She also undertakes matrimonial finance, inheritance law and private law children cases. She represents both claimants and defendants.

Tara is a graduate of Cambridge University, where she was the recipient of a Dr Cooper Law Studentship (Trinity Hall, 2004). She has also been awarded a Harmsworth Entrance Exhibition Award (Middle Temple, 2004) and a prestigious Pegasus Scholarship (Inner Temple, 2010). The latter enabled Tara to spend three months working overseas as a judicial assistant to the Chief Justice of the Family Court of Australia.

In recent years, Tara has appeared in a growing number of commercial cases, representing several well-known companies in the areas of employment, civil and commercial law. She also regularly appears in personal injury matters, acting in fast-track and multi-track trials, and drafting statement of cases and opinions.

Clients and peers say Tara is “tenacious at the same time as being very pleasant and easy to work with” adding that they admire her “thorough, pragmatic and balanced approach”.

Tara is based in London and when she has some free time enjoys adventurous travel, theatre, ballet and learning languages.
