Career

Melanie joined Stone King in 2024, bringing with her a wealth of experience in a career that spans more than three decades.

Her work concentrates around the powers and duties of public bodies, but reaches out those who have to engage with or challenge public bodies. She is a former government and in house lawyer at a regulator, and understands the policy and resource constraints inherent in their operations. She has worked with numerous national charities on their strategic litigation or when they have been under the spotlight of regulation themselves.

She is a trusted adviser, often operating at Board level and as external General Counsel. She has personally devised legal frameworks and drafted the statutory legislation or constitutional documents (e.g. primary and secondary legislation, Royal Charters, Codes of Conduct, disciplinary and complaints policies and procedures) for their implementation.
