We are delighted to announce that Melissa Haskell has joined Carbon Law Partners!

Melissa brings extensive experience as a Commercial Litigator and Regulatory Law & Compliance specialist, with expertise in enforcement and policy interpretation and implementation.

Melissa’s career spans over a decade, including work as a Solicitor Advocate in criminal and immigration practice, followed by a senior role in local government where she led on prosecutions, regulatory and licensing matters.

Melissa now focuses on contentious, policy-led work and uses her prosecution experience to support clients facing complex regulatory and disciplinary challenges.
