Although Amelia was called to the Bar in 1991 (Inner Temple), completed pupillage and worked as an attorney for a short time in the Turks and Caicos Islands, she only started practising at the Bar of England & Wales when she joined 12 Old Square in 2022 and is therefore a New Practitioner. After joining 12 Old Square, she did family law (applications for non-molestation orders) and immigration law {bail applications for people in immigration detention). In 2025, she took time out to study for an LLM in International Human Rights Law at City University. She will complete the LLM course in January 2026 and plans to resume fulltime work as a 12 Old Square barrister in the Spring of 2026. She has studied both mediation and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) as part of her LLM course and with the Society of Mediators and so may also undertake mediation work.
