Dedicated, diligent, detail-oriented, and articulate are a few words I would use to describe Tara’s work – Tara has been nothing short of excellent in progressing my client’s case to finality, achieving orders in my clients favour and thinking 10 steps ahead. Very impressive result and very grateful to have instructed her. I look forward to instructing Tara again in the near future – Solicitor at Sternberg Reed LLP

I am absolutely delighted with the outcome of a recent complex injunction case which had parallel possession proceedings where I instructed Tara. Both Tara’s written work and advocacy are outstanding! I look forward to working with Tara again in the future. My client also passes thanks to Tara who commented that she was ‘brilliant’ and ‘talked through everything, felt very supported and couldn’t have asked for a better counsel to represent her’ – Solicitor at Barker Gotelee Solicitors
