Profile description

Called to the Bar in October 1997; I was formerly at 1 Dr Johnson's Buildings and then Goldsmith Chambers; where I remain a door tenant.

I moved to Cornwall in 2008 and now practice as a sole practitioner, specialising in commercial law for small and medium size businesses. I am authorised by the Bar Standards Board to accept direct public access work. I also have extensive experience of military and media law. I have acted in numerous courts martial, and was a lecturer at the Ministry of Defence Specialist Training School.

I am a founder member of the Association of Military Court Advocates. I also provided pre publication advice to national newspapers. I am very interested in animal rights, and will certainly consider pro bono work for suitably worthy causes.

I also love art and music; and very much enjoy taking cases in these fields. I enjoy writing legal articles, and radio work. I was the presenter of "Legally Speaking" on Radio Exeter, and have appeared many times on BBC Cornwall discussing a variety of legal topics; some of which I actually knew something about.

However, after speaking with her for just five minutes, she was able to grasp the complexity of the situation and provided me with compassion and understanding. I felt instantly supported and heard. Nastassi gave me the opportunity to express myself and provided a listening ear, allowing me to get everything off my chest before moving forward. She not only recommended a barrister who she believed could help, but also presented me with other options. When my hearing date changed, a refund was provided without question. When a new date was confirmed, Nastassi promptly rebooked the original barrister. Throughout the process, Nastassi was always available if I needed her, responding to emails and phone calls promptly. Her consistent compassion and kind nature made the entire process less daunting for me. I am forever grateful.” Read more Read less
