Anna Leathem joins 3PB from 5SAH

5th August 2024

Anna Leathem (call:2019), a regulatory, professional discipline and criminal barrister, has joined 3PB from 5SAH (5 St Andrew's Hill) in London and will be based from 3PB’s Winchester office.

Anna acts on behalf of regulators and registrants. She recently completed a secondment with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and managed a large and varied caseload. She presented back-to-back substantive hearings in complex areas, including sexual misconduct and dishonesty, acted in interim order hearings, reviews and applications for restoration to the register. Anna’s experience at the NMC has benefitted her defence practice and she recently successfully defended a registrant who was facing an interim suspension order. As well as the NMC, Anna has acted for the GDC and IFA.

Anna had a busy prosecution and defence practice in crime and dealt with a wide range of offences including drugs, fraud, robbery, domestic violence and sexual crimes. Anna also has experience in dealing with young and vulnerable defendants in the Youth Courts and has completed specialist training with the Youth Justice Legal Centre.

Tom Horder, who heads 3PB's Tier 1 Western Circuit Criminal team, said: " I am delighted Anna is joining 3PB. She joins us with an impressive reputation that those who have had the pleasure of working alongside her or being on opposing sides in court can attest to. Anna is a great addition to both our criminal and regulatory teams and we all look forward to working with her."
