Carol took Silk in 2021 having been recognised for many years by Chambers & Partners and the Legal 500 as a leading practitioner in employment litigation and professional discipline.

Carol has a recognised expertise in discrimination law and high-value employment tribunal litigation, commercial employment matters in the High Court and regulatory work, with a particular emphasis on financial services. She specialises in extremely confidential and sensitive matters and is highly sought after by major UK and multinational corporations, banking and other financial institutions, and public authorities for large-scale discrimination and whistleblowing cases and independent internal investigations, hearings and appeals.
