Molly joined chambers in March 2025 and is currently completing her pupillage under the supervision of Mr Paul Fleming, Mr Lee Dowling and Mr John Craggs.
Molly commenced her second six in September 2025 and now accepts instructions in all areas of Chambers’ practice with a particular focus on family work. This includes both public and private children law proceedings (adoption, foster care, interim care orders, child arrangements orders, prohibited steps orders and specific issue orders).
​
Molly studied Law at York Law School, University of York, and Singapore Management University, before completing the Bar Professional Training Course at Northumbria University with Distinction.
​
Prior to commencing pupillage Molly gained valuable experience working for a family law firm in Perth, Western Australia, where she developed an understanding of international law and contrasting approaches to family law across different jurisdictions. Additionally, she worked as a County Court Advocate and paralegal, handling civil matters including landlord and tenant and infant approvals matters.
​
Throughout her studies, Molly volunteered at the legal clinic in York University. She also volunteered with the Witness Service at Bradford Crown Court, where she supported individuals giving evidence in serious criminal cases. This role provided her with a unique opportunity to assist people during particularly challenging times.
​
Outside of her legal work, Molly enjoys keeping fit, running, travelling and socialising with friends. She also teaches children to swim.
