Jo was called to the Bar in October 2005 and she completed her pupillage at the leading criminal law set QEB Hollis Whiteman.

During pupillage, she assisted members of chambers on several high profile cases including matters of a general criminal nature, fraud and regulatory offences. She has also conducted cases in her own right and has experience of representing professionals in criminal matters.

Jo spent a year at Peters and Peters as an employed barrister where her experience included extradition, mutual legal assistance, cartel investigations (OFT, US Department of Justice and Canadian Competition Bureau), money laundering and FSA regulatory advice. Following this she spent six months at the FSA in the Enforcement division where she advised on an insider dealing prosecution.

Jo has now returned to Peters and Peters where she continues to gain experience across the department.

As an employed barrister, Jo has full rights of audience in all courts.
