Introduction

Nina is a second six month pupil in chambers. 

Nina comes to Chambers from a varied academic and working background which allowed her to gain experience in Chambers’ main practice areas – crime, family, civil, and regulatory law. She worked as a Crown Court Clerk, where she covered all Crown Court matters, particularly sex offences. Her work as a Legal Associate saw her working with barristers on immigration matters, including visa applications, appeals, and refugee and asylum applications. As a Law Reporter in the Civil and Family Group, she covered cases in Employment Tribunals, the High Court, and the Court of Appeal. Her reports were published through the ICLR in the Weekly Law Reports.

During her studies, Nina volunteered for the Sexual Violence Task Team at Rhodes University, where she completed research on the policies for reporting sexual violence on campus. Through her voluntary work with the Legal Plenary Counsel at Rhodes University, she assisted students facing disciplinary proceedings at the University and advised arrested students during protests on campus in 2016.

Nina undertook a research period on consent and capacity in clinical negligence through the Laidlaw Scholarship for Research and Leadership, in which she published articles and presented her research at conferences.

Nina’s interests are vested in matters related to human rights and social justice.

As a second six month pupil, Nina is not a tenant/member of 33 Bedford Row.
