Experience

Lucy is a Principal Associate in our advisory and inquest team. Lucy mainly represents local authorities, healthcare providers, private custodial service operators and care homes in relation to inquests (including Article 2 inquests) and public inquiries.

Expertise

The inquests Lucy leads on are often sensitive, high-risk and require extensive reputation management. She is adept at handling cases where the deceased had a significant history of mental health issues, self-harm, suicide attempts, bullying or coercion.

Lucy deals with all stages of the inquest process, including review of documents, preparation of witness statements, providing support to witnesses, preparing for hearings and providing tactical advice to clients as well as liaising with all parties. Lucy also advises on policy and assists clients throughout the inquest process to identify and action learning points.

Lucy has also provided support to clients in high profile public inquiries and has years of civil litigation experience, including advising on complex liability and causation issues and managing claims arising out of the inquests.

Lucy works proactively to provide practical and commercial advice to achieve the best outcome for her clients.
