'My experience of the Natasha is that she has a strong and incisive analytical ability. She is able to assimilate complex and often conflicting information from various sources and reduce that to the essentials in order to distil legal argument. She is able to identify the relevant legal issues whilst having a firm grasp of issues that are relevant to the lay client. Natasha has very good judgement and the ability to weigh up (for the client) the pros and cons of any course of action. She is able to advise on instructions which are given and as to the consequences of them, their impact on the issues before the court and likely outcome. She is able to provide a key analysis of the wider and broader picture for the client and to create an overall strategy. Natasha’s written work is exemplary. My experience of her is from the preparation of position statements and complex skeleton arguments where conciseness and clarity are required. Natasha is an excellent advocate. Her court style is clear, authoritative, always courteous and organised. Her style of advocacy is one which in my view is greatly appreciated by the tribunals before which she appears. It is never antagonistic. She is always sensitive to the expressed views of the tribunal throughout any hearing and is able where and when necessary to adapt the arguments that she puts in order to meet the requirements of the tribunal. She always has a full command of her brief. Natasha is personable. She is always polite and civil with an easy going manner that is nonetheless authoritative. She is particularly adept in ensuring that the lay client is placed at ease and has a full understanding of the issues before the court whilst not belittling on the point of view of the lay client or being dismissive of the lay client’s instructions and point of view. She is able through her skills to place the lay client in a position to make an informed decision.'
