Lucy specialises in reputation management and media law, including defamation, publishing, privacy and data rights.
Lucy joined SM&B in November 2007, having previously practised as a barrister at Doughty Street Chambers. She was called to the Bar in 1992 and is a very experienced practitioner in both civil and criminal litigation.
Her years of experience at the Bar advising litigants and
presenting cases in Court adds a critical dimension to our Dispute
Resolution and Litigation and Libel, Privacy
and Reputation teams. As well as running her own cases,
she is able whenever appropriate to act as in-house Counsel,
providing a barrister's viewpoint and, if
necessary, representation in Court.
Lucy has been recognised by both the Chambers Guide and the Legal
500 as a leading lawyer in the defamation field and has been
commended as "an incredibly clued-up junior" and "incredibly
smart".
