Niamh joined Chambers in October 2022 following the successful completion of pupillage. She sat with Dan McCourt Fritz KC, Gareth Tilley, Constance McDonnell KC, Thomas Elias and Stephanie Wickenden developing a broad commercial chancery practice in line with chambers’ profile. During pupillage, Niamh worked on cases across Serle Court’s core practice areas, with particular experience in private client work, commercial litigation, company law and intellectual property.
Before joining Serle Court, Niamh studied law at Merton College, Oxford graduating with a first-class undergraduate degree and a Distinction in the BCL receiving numerous academic scholarships and prizes. During her BPC year Niamh was a Guest Teacher at the London School of Economics and Political Science where she taught undergraduate seminars on the Property II course (Land and Trusts).
