Practice Profile

Kate joined Chambers in October 2010 after completing Pupillage under the supervision of Imran Mahmood (civil and crime), Ivan Clarke (civil and crime) and Teresa Pritchard (family).
 

She is available for instructions across the civil and criminal spectrum in line with Chamber’s profile.

Kate has the advantage of coming later to the Bar, having worked in business for 3 years. Before Pupillage she worked as a paralegal in a small specialist Mental Health and Community Care solicitors and volunteered at a legal advice centre. For the solicitors she appeared regularly in the Mental Health Review Tribunal in both civil and restricted cases ranging from low security to Broadmoor high security. She has experience of instructing in cases in Judicial Review in the High Court and Court of Appeal.

Kate’s current practice is mixed civil and crime. She appears regularly in the county court for trials, hearings and applications, the magistrates’ court, youth court and Crown court. She maintains an interest in human rights in line with her background as well as an interest in the technical opportunities of civil law.

What clients say:

"I just wanted to express my appreciation of the quality work done by Kate Round.  She has picked up two hearings for me recently on short notice with a minimal brief and done a good job in both cases.  She also provides very full and detailed reports with her own helpful thoughts on the case more generally which is extremely useful."        David Smith  - Anthony Gold Solicitors

“I am writing to express my gratitude for the excellent work completed by Kate Round in the case of R –v- John De'Viana. In a unique case, containing novel and complex issues relating to law and disclosure, her diligence and expertise remains greatly appreciated from those instructing. I am extremely thankful for her efforts. 

Best Regards”    - Daniel Salter, Director, S A LAW CHAMBERS SOLICITORS LTD
