We recognise that clients demand specialist knowledge from barristers who are technically astute, excellent in court and aware of wider commercial issues and personable.
Abbi is undertaking a specialist Business & Property pupillage, currently under the supervision of Kirsty White.
Abbi began her career in education, rising to Assistant Principal after completing an MA (Hons) in Classics and Medieval History at Edinburgh University. She then transitioned to law, earning a Career Changer Scholarship from the University of Law and graduating from the MA Law (conversion) with High Distinction. She continued to excel at the Bar Practice Course, receiving an Exhibition Scholarship and the Duke of Edinburgh Entrance Award from the Inner Temple, and graduating with an ‘Outstanding’.
During her legal training, Abbi gained practical experience as a legal assistant, drafting pleadings in complex business and property matters. Since being called to the Bar, she has represented lay and corporate clients in county court property disputes, debt claims, and return of goods matters, handling applications including set aside, summary judgment, and determination of beneficial interests under TOLATA.
Abbi has also volunteered with Citizens Advice, providing advice on wills, trusts, estates, and property disputes. She was awarded the Pump Court Tax Chambers student prize for her written tax advice and was part of the team that won the Inter-Inns Debating Cup in 2023.
Outside of work, Abbi enjoys hiking, acting, and spending time with her family.
She will begin taking instructions in Commercial law from 1 April 2026.
