Tanya joined 18 St John Street as a full tenant in September 2024, following the successful completion of her Pupillage under the supervision of Rachel Faux. During her pupillage she observed and assisted with a wide range of cases in the Crown Court and Court of Appeal including matters involving drug production/supply and serious sexual and violent offences.
Tanya has had the opportunity to practise drafting legal advice, Respondent’s Notices in the Court of Appeal and other documents in preparation for hearings including sentencing hearings, bail applications and trials. She has conducted research in a range of areas including Gross Negligence Manslaughter and sentencing historic sex offences committed when the offender was still a child.
Prior to starting Pupillage, Tanya worked as an Assessment Analyst at the Independent Office for Police Conduct, an organisation responsible for handling complaints against police forces in England and Wales. Here she developed an understanding of the police and criminal legal systems as well as reviewing evidence in police misconduct cases.
Tanya has also volunteered at the Citizen’s Advice Service, Manchester Free Legal Help Clinic, and Manchester University’s Legal Advice Centre. Here she developed skills including client care, drafting and providing legal advice.
