Henrietta has a particular interest in disputes involving family businesses, trusts and relationships and those with a public law element. She represents IPOS as a Board Member of The Civil Mediation Council. Henrietta’s career began as a litigator at Allen & Overy, advising clients in both litigation and international arbitration. She subsequently gained an LLM in Public International Law before continuing her career at the Government Legal Department advising on matters of public law and judicial review for the Home Office. Her experience of advising the Government has given her a clear understanding of the powers and duties of public bodies and the pressures which make disputes involving public bodies unique in character.
