Nicola Augousti 

Membership Status: Barrister - Full Member

General Information

Prior to joining Chambers, Nicola was a County Court Advocate for LPC Law, where she acquired extensive experience in civil litigation and developed her self-employed practice.  During her time at LPC Law, she undertook a range of civil matters and appeared before a variety of judges.

Nicola believes that in order to be an effective barrister, one also has to understand the surrounding community. She has therefore undertaken legal work for the community on a pro-bono basis. Nicola was a volunteer for the Free Representation Unit and the National Centre of Domestic Violence, where she regularly dealt with a range of clients in very difficult situations. This also allowed her to understand the sensitivities of language and the behaviour required when people were at their most vulnerable.

She has a wide-ranging civil practice and is able to accept instructions in the following areas (though not limited to):

Why instruct Nicola?

Indeed, clients often praise her tenacity, hard work, eye for detail and personable nature. Both instructing solicitors and lay clients will find Nicola to be an approachable individual with whom they will feel at ease.

Feedback

"I just wanted to say a big thank you for all of your help and hard work on the infant matter yesterday and for securing a fantastic outcome and resolution of this matter for the Claimant. You were absolutely brilliant.

This was a borderline Stage 3 / infant approval hearing, and, the third hearing so far. You really did go the extra mile in speaking to the Litigation Friend, Defendant Counsel, and managing to obtain an increased award shortly before the hearing. You managed to turn this into a straightforward hearing.

You are always so helpful and approachable and I really appreciate all of the extra work that you did on this case yesterday. Thank you so much again."
