​Kathryn has worked in defence for the best part of twenty years.  She is an experienced trial lawyer and has conducted many challenging cases.  

Kathryn is measured and approachable.  Her ability to communicate with her clients and break down the complexities of the law in a straight-forward and frank way is obvious to those who know her and work alongside her. 

Kathryn appears on a broad range of criminal charges, from disorderly behaviour through to murder.  She has significant experience in conducting multi-accused trials and long-cause drug trials.  

In addition to her trial advocacy armoury, Kathryn regularly appears on pre-trial applications and on appeals.   She is often the "go to" person in chambers for advice on complex legal issues.
