Lucky’s practice spans across the East Midlands and beyond, both prosecuting and defending in cases ranging from serious drugs and firearms offences to murders and manslaughters. 

Her career started in-house with a local firm of solicitors where she had a solely defence practice, however since joining Chambers, she has also gone on to become a Grade 3 Prosecutor. Lucky is regularly instructed as junior counsel in some of the most serious cases and has been a led junior in a number of high-profile homicide cases in recent years.

 

Alongside managing a heavy practice, Lucky has also held various positions as follows:

 

Head of Pupillage 2024 - Present

Midland Circuit Scholarship Committee 2022 – present

Midland Circuit Junior 2023-2024

Midland Circuit Assistant Junior 2022-2023

Whilst much of Lucky’s time is consumed by her practice, she is also a dog mum to her French Bulldog, Winston. In her spare time she enjoys hitting the road for a run, entering 10k races from time to time. She enjoys strength training at the gym, baking cakes and shaking up espresso martinis at home. She is also a keen collector of 50ps which is something she has done for many years.
