Nia studied Law at Aberystwyth University, achieving a 2:1 grade. Nia went on to qualify as a solicitor in August 2024. At this time, she worked in family law and gained valuable experience in a broad range of family matters. Her enthusiasm for advocacy then led me to pursue the Bar.

 

Nia was called by Middle Temple in November 2025 and achieved a ‘Very Competent’ grade. Her role up until joining chambers was as a Crown Prosecutor with the Crown Prosecution Service and allowed her to refine her advocacy skills and develop a growing passion for criminal law.

 

Your legal challenges will be met with expertise, dedication, and a commitment to achieving the best possible outcomes for you.
