Danielle is a barrister at Matrix chambers and has been involved in cases involving serious crime, protest law, inquests and inquiries.
Bringing empathy and sensitivity to the table, especially during instances regarding children and young people, she thrives in bringing cases like these to justice.
She holds an LLB (Bachelor of Law) degree from Sheffield University and completed her BPTC (Bar Professional Training Course) at the University of Law, Bloomsbury.
Prior to her training, she worked at the law reform charity “JUSTICE” as a criminal justice policy intern, whose research helped to get compensation for a case of miscarriage of justice at the Supreme Court.
While studying she also managed the “Innocence Project”, which worked on a range of criminal appeals and applications to the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC). In recognition of her services she was nominated for the Chancellor’s Medal and was additionally invited to sit on the CCRC’s stakeholder forum.
She spent some time in 2023 working as a sexual violence lawyer for the Centre of Women’s Justice. Advising survivors accessing the Women and Girls Network Survivors Gateway about their legal rights when the police asked for their digital data as part of an Operation Soteria Pilot Scheme.
Her work has been used for Netflix’s documentary “When Missing Turns to Murder”, and she has also been a legal consultant on Suzie Miller’s trailblazing plays, “Prima Facie” and “Inter Alia”.
Providing the cast and creative team with the current state of the law when it deals with sexual assault cases against women from both the side of the victim and perpetrator.
We discuss the areas of the law, tackled by both plays, that still to this very day are not helping victims of sexual assault get the justice they need. As well as her journey towards becoming a barrister and the huge impact that Suzie Miller’s plays continue to have.
