Carola accepts instructions in all of Chambers’ main practice areas. She has a particular interest in civil fraud, commercial litigation and arbitration, sports law and professional liability.
She has experience of working as part of a large counsel team on complex and large-scale matters, and recently acted on behalf of the claimants in the 19-week trial of Suppipat & Ors v Narongdej & Ors, a $2 billion fraud claim and one of The Lawyer’s Top 20 Cases of 2022 (led by Justin Fenwick KC and George Spalton KC). She also regularly appears as sole advocate, both in the County Courts and the High Court. Examples of her recent instructions can be found under the relevant practice area headings below.
Carola is also developing a busy sports law practice. She has experience of advising and representing individual athletes with respect to disciplinary and contractual matters and has acted as junior counsel in high-profile (but confidential) disputes involving, for example, the policies adopted by major sports governing bodies.
Before coming to the Bar, Carola read History at Magdalen College, Oxford, graduating with a First (4th highest in year) and winning several university and college prizes. While at Oxford, Carola won the University’s Ronnie Payne Prize for Student Journalism; she has been published in several national newspapers and magazines, and during pupillage won first prize in The Times Law Awards.
