a regulatory offence or prosecutions
civil penalty proceedings and confiscations
professional disciplinary matters
quasi-criminal proceedings
human rights.
Katherine’s expertise includes disputes that arise in sporting contexts. She has advised and acted in racing matters, and for international-level athletes before the Court of Arbitration for Sport based in Lausanne, Switzerland.
