Professional Practice

Jasmine joined Chambers in October 2024, after completing her pupillage under the supervision of Indira Ramsahoye, Richard Tambling and Petra Teacher. 

Jasmine enjoyed being involved in the full spectrum of family law during her pupillage: private children law proceedings (including child abduction, internal and external relocation and fact-finding hearings), complex and high-value financial remedy proceedings, disputes under the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996 and applications brought under the Family Law Act 1996.  

Jasmine welcomes instructions in all areas of family law, with a particular interest in complex private children law proceedings, cases with an international element and financial remedies. 

Jasmine secured pupillage during her final year at Oxford University, where she read Law with French Law. Jasmine achieved First-Class Honours and was awarded the Family Law Prize and two Wadham College Scholarships for her Finals performance. Jasmine went on to complete the Bar Practice Course at the University of Law in Bristol with the support of the Queen Mother Scholarship from Middle Temple. 

Prior to commencing pupillage, Jasmine volunteered with the Witness Service, supporting vulnerable witnesses and their families through the process of attending court and giving evidence. Jasmine also volunteered as a Peer Supporter and as a tutor for disadvantaged young people. Jasmine enjoys undertaking pro bono work with Advocate and is sensitive to the diverse needs of vulnerable clients.
