Profile
Most recently Victoria assisted in the successful High Court privacy action brought by Max Mosley against the News of the World. Over the past year Victoria has been involved in the defence of a confidence claim on behalf of a private hospital and has acted for a range of London Borough Councils in defamation cases, including successfully striking out a libel claim brought by a former council employee. Victoria provides pre-publication advice to newspapers, publishers and magazines, including guidance on gaming law and data protection matters. In 2007 she spent 6 months on secondment to Channel 4 where she gained considerable experience in providing legal and OFCOM compliance advice. She undertook her pupillage at 5RB, where her pupil supervisors were Godwin Busuttil, Adam Wolanski, Matthew Nicklin and Jacob Dean. During this time Victoria gained significant experience in many of Chambers’ areas of practice, and was involved in a number of notable cases, including Culnane v Morris, Rooney v News Group Newspapers Ltd and Jameel v Wall Street Journal in the House of Lords. After completing her law degree Victoria worked as a legal researcher at the British Institute of International and Comparative law in the field of data protection. She also undertook a legal traineeship at the European Commission working on the EU-US negotiations with regard to the privacy rights of US-bound airline passengers. Immediately prior to commencing pupillage at 5RB, Victoria worked for a year as a paralegal at Walt Disney, providing legal assistance and research on intellectual property and data protection matters.
