Parklane Plowden Chambers Announces Two New Deputy Heads

Parklane Plowden Chambers is delighted to announce the election of two deputy heads of chambers, Sarah Harrison and Sara Anning.

Sarah was first elected as deputy head of chambers in 2023. Following her re-election, she will continue in her role as a director of Plowden Facilities. Sarah was also the head of the chancery and commercial team at Parklane Plowden until 2023.

Sara Anning was appointed as a Recorder (Family) on the North Eastern Circuit and has sat as a Fee Paid Judge of the Mental Health Tribunal since 2018. As deputy head of chambers, Sara will lead on career progression for members of chambers and pastoral issues.

Commenting on their elections, head of chambers, Elizabeth Hodgson, said:

“I am delighted to be supported as head of chambers by Sara and Sarah, who are not only leading barristers in their respective practice areas but have exceptional skills that make them well-suited for the specific roles that each will fulfil as deputy heads of chambers.

“Their appointments are significant for Chambers, not least because for the first time the head and deputy heads of chambers are an all women team.

“I look forward to working closely with them, our head of teams, and our senior management team as we continue to develop our ambitious and progressive Chambers for the benefit of our clients, our staff and our members.”
