Radhia was a senior manager with the Crown Prosecution Service for 20 years, managing a number of lawyers within specialist Units and prosecuting legally and factually complex, high-profile cases, from murder, rape and serious sexual offences to multi-handed conspiracies. During her time at the CPS, Radhia held the national lead on disclosure and rape and serious sexual offences.

As a defence barrister, Radhia has represented both individual and corporate clients. She has forged a reputation as being tenacious and inquisitive of mind, ensuring that client care and welfare is at the heart of all that she does.

Given her wealth of experience with the Crown Prosecution Service, Radhia is able, at the earliest stage of a case, to unpick and scrutinise the evidence, exposing disclosure failings and achieving successful results for her clients.

She has successfully represented a number of private clients facing allegations of a serious sexual nature and complex offences, securing outcomes including no further action following representations at the earliest stage, and acquittals following trial.

Radhia has advised in cases involving all the key prosecution and regulatory authorities, including the Crown Prosecution Service, Trading Standards, the Serious Fraud Office and His Majesty's Revenue and Customs.
