Her work involves prime and super prime London properties as well as country estates. She also acts for several private banks both in the UK and offshore, and has well-established connections with individual clients, trust companies and banks in the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Monaco, Switzerland and Singapore.

Caroline has a high reputation in this area and has been recognised by Spears as one of the top five property lawyers, and also in Chambers, Legal 500 and Citywealth, receiving the Citywealth Power Women Silver Award 2021.  

Caroline is on the fundraising board for The Children’s Air Ambulance, the committee for The Gulls Eggs Luncheon for Cure Parkinsons and the council for The Mayfair & St James Association.

Speaking of her appointment, Caroline said: 'I am delighted to join the Harbottle & Lewis’ Property team, which has an excellent and established reputation, and will undoubtedly be of significant benefit in the continued development of my practice.'

Gerrard Tyrrell, Senior Partner, commented: 'A warm welcome has been given to Caroline by all at Harbottle & Lewis. As a leading lawyer within her specialist field she is an excellent addition to our Property team and will further enhance the offering we provide to our clients.'
