Accredited Civil and Commercial Mediator (Society of Mediators)
Magdalena joined chambers as a pupil in 2021, and became a tenant after successfully completing her pupillage in 2022. She welcomes work across all areas of Family Law and is passionate about making sure her clients’ voices are heard.
She previously worked for a London-based Legal 500 law firm specialising in global high-value disputes. She brings experience of strategic litigation and commercial negotiations to her developing financial remedy practice.
In another past role at a regional justice charity, Magdalena supported offenders through restorative justice programmes at HMP Lewes, an experience which assists her in being unphased by the unexpected.
Before her pupillage, Magdalena gained advocacy experience through independently representing clients as a County Court Advocate, appearing in a range of civil matters across the regional courts, including landlord and tenant disputes and possession cases.
Magdalena is highly sensitive to her clients’ needs, and places great importance on developing a good working relationship; ensuring that they feel comfortable with the process, and fully supported. She is an excellent communicator, and aims to be the person her clients can talk to; reminding them that she is only asking for information in order to be able to represent them – not to judge or use it against them. Her clients appreciate her honest, pragmatic approach to the potential outcome of their case, as well as her determination to get the best possible result for them.
