    Practice Overview

    Nia joined Chambers in March 2026 after successfully completing pupillage under the supervision of Harry Martin, Michael Walsh KC, and Jonathan Upton KC.

    Nia is building a broad commercial and chancery practice across Chambers' core specialisms. As a pupil, Nia worked on a wide range of contentious and non-contentious matters including property, private client, offshore and international, and professional negligence.  

    Nia studied English at Clare Collage, Cambridge, graduating with double-first class honours and several university prizes. She then pursued postgraduate study at Oxford before completing the GDL and Bar Course at BPP, funded by scholarships from Gray's Inn.
