Carrie's ability to analyse and present data is a skill which sets her above those of her peers and has played a pivotal role in the presentation of her cases which has resulted in her clients being acquitted.
Carrie has an in-depth knowledge of police covert investigations and specialist intelligence and is able to use such knowledge to seek the exclusion of otherwise undermining evidence. Carrie has also been able to prevent her clients from being made subject to POCA orders by demonstrating financial discrepancies at an early stage in criminal proceedings.
Carrie has a master's degree (LLM) in Medical Law and was awarded a distinction. This additional training has provided her with enhanced medical knowledge, an exceptional ability to research clinical data and an ability to articulate medico-legal arguments.
