Victoria has dealt with matters reaching the appeal courts, including the Upper Tribunal. Victoria is assisted by a paralegal and solicitor apprentice whom she has been mentoring since June 2024.

The non-monetary breach team deal with any pre-legal breach of lease matters, such as nuisance breaches, unauthorised alterations and unauthorised subletting.
