Background:

After many years of a busy criminal law practice as a barrister (called to the Bar in 2001, Hannah took silk in 2021), Hannah has now decided to focus the majority of her time on teaching. 听She remains, however, a tenant at Red Lion Chambers where she will continue to undertake advisory work. 听 听She is also a Recorder of the Crown Court. 听

In her practice, Hannah specialises in serious, financial and regulatory crime and has significant experience of exceedingly large, multi-handed and complex cases. 听Prior to taking silk, she was appointed as a Grade 4 Advocate (highest grade) on the CPS General Crime Panel in 2016, to the Serious Fraud Office鈥檚 Prosecution Panel A list in 2017 (and re-appointed in 2020) and as a Grade 4 Advocate on both the CPS Specialist Serious Crime Group Panel and the CPS Specialist Fraud Panel in 2019. 听

Recommended for many years as a junior and more recently as a new silk for her work in Financial Crime, Hannah has been cited as being 鈥渁 first-class advocate and excellent lawyer, whose attention to detail is of the highest order鈥� (Legal 500 2017), "she is very, very able"听(Chambers & Partners 2018), 鈥渟he can put her opponent in a whole world of trouble鈥� (Chambers & Partners 2020), 鈥渟he is always so cerebral and thoughtful and takes such an intellectual approach to the cases that she runs鈥� (Chambers & Partners 2021), 鈥渟he is extremely bright and conscientious鈥� (Chambers & Partners 2022), 鈥淗annah has a calm, persuasive manner and combines persistence with a jury-friendly style, which enables her to score her forensic points in a highly effective manner. 听She is an exceptionally able advocate whose advocacy shows her meticulous preparation鈥� (Legal 500 2022).听

During 2013 鈥� 2015, Hannah taught Criminal Law and Criminal Evidence as an Associate Lecturer at Oxford Brookes University. She has now been teaching at 皇家华人 part-time since 2017 (originally 0.2FTE, from September 2023 0.8FTE). 听
