We would like to introduce Natalie Alt, who has joined Becket Chambers as a pupil. Before taking up pupillage at Becket Chambers, Natalie worked as a paralegal for the National Centre for Domestic Violence and as a case officer for Compass Continuing Healthcare, where she liaised between people struggling to access healthcare funding and the NHS to ensure that families were able to access the funding that they were entitled to.
As a paralegal, Natalie supported many of the most vulnerable people in society to help them access legal protection – such as obtaining non-molestation orders, occupation orders and prohibited steps orders. She received specialist training in working directly with people in many challenging circumstances, including those with no support network, who lack capacity, or who have mental health challenges. She is also experienced in liaising with executives, people with Power of Attorney, and other family members.
The reason Natalie was drawn to the law was to be a voice for people who need support and help, particularly the vulnerable. She understands the emotional impact of high-risk situations and is adept at reading people and adjusting her communication style to suit their needs. Natalie’s confident and articulate manner has also led to her desire to represent people in Court and see their case through to the outcome.
After gaining a BA in Criminology from the University of York, she earned her LLB at Leeds University and studied for the Bar course at BPP University, London, being awarded an advocacy scholarship. Natalie is fluent in German.
