Hari has significant experience with matters involving sexual abuse, extremely serious non-accidental injuries / attempted murder of the child (including multiple fractures and ‘baby shaking’), fabricated illness and serious neglect.
The complexity of Hari’s practice is such that she has been led by Queens Counsel in several cases and also regularly appears, without Queens Counsel, in cases where 1 or more of the other parties have instructed a Leader.
Hari is particularly sought after for family cases, both Public and Private Law, which have an international element due to her extensive immigration law background (Chambers and Partners recommended her, over a number of years, as a Leading Junior for Immigration work).
Hari accepts instructions in complex cases around the country.
