Jae is recognised as an exceptional lawyer with expertise spanning almost 30 years. Seen as the professionals’ choice – therefore often recommended by other professionals - whether for complex fraud investigations or a serious/complex criminal investigation from murder allegations through to all sexual offences.

As her case history attests, Jae is retained by the full spectrum of professionals, often in high ranking positions, from members of the judiciary to Members of Parliament. With this expertise comes a proven track record in dealing with high-profile cases, accustomed to defending in cases brought by the array of criminal prosecuting bodies, as well as defending professionals in private prosecutions.

Often at the heart of Jae’s work are the reputational implications for the clients/entities she represents; this being at the forefront of her mind and something she seeks to fearlessly protect.

Jae commands a reputation for excellence. Clients come to her as they want someone who truly ‘owns it’ – someone who recognises the importance of their case and the gravitas of its importance to them. Jae delivers an unfaltering commitment to meet clients’ needs combined with a phenomenal work ethic.

With one eye ahead, Jae is renowned for being an astute tactician, focusing on how best to protect clients’ interests and maximise the prospects of success. She is often effective in avoiding prosecution both at the investigative stage pre-charge and pre-trial following careful submissions.

While externally Jae presents as a formidable opponent, she is also known for her empathy and understanding. Being highly personable and making sense of what is often complex or unfamiliar is her forte. She brings a sense of calm to what is otherwise an often frightening experience. These attributes have led to a niche area in representing younger clients/children, sometimes connected to those who are in the public eye; such young clients are often facing serious charges, clients for whom an unblemished future is so critical. This complex area of law also requires a more specialised empathetic approach, extending to support for all involved, not least the needs of the family.
