“Great strength in depth both in relation to their expertise and breadth of experience from juniors through to their QCs.”
Legal 500, 2022

Personal profile

Letitia appears as both a junior alone and led junior across the spectrum of criminal offences. She has recently acted in cases of Serious Violence, Drug Offences, Human Trafficking and other Serious & Organised Crime.

Letitia prosecutes at CPS Grade 2 and has been instructed by the SFO as disclosure review counsel. She is therefore well versed in material-heavy cases and complex disclosure exercises.

Letitia also accepts instructions in Regulatory & Professional Disciplinary proceedings, including defending for the Association of Optometrists.
