Victoria is a litigator in the firm's Private department. Her clients include high net worth individuals and families for whom she acts in family disputes, reputation and privacy matters and complex commercial disputes, involving contracts, partnerships and director/shareholder disagreements.

The wide-ranging nature of Victoria’s work stems in part from a career that began at the Criminal Bar, where she prosecuted and defended a wide variety of offences. She continues to represent clients who find themselves on the wrong side of the law as well as families and “interested persons” at inquests.
