Margaret was called to the Bar in 2000 after a fast-track civil service career in policy and management roles.

As a complement to her advocacy practice, she is a seasoned ADR practitioner assisting parties with their disputes over family money, generally at medium level asset values, and in TOLATA disputes and inheritance claims. Margaret views the her advocacy and ADR skills as wholly complementary, with the needs and interests of litigation participants to have clear, prompt and fair outcomes a priority for financial and personal best outcomes. Margaret is a member of Harcourt Chambers’ team of specialist arbitrators.
