Parnell’s Barristers warmly congratulates Cara Foot on her appointment as Crown Prosecutor with the Office of Public Prosecutions Victoria.

Cara is an accomplished advocate with a broad criminal practice spanning both prosecution and defence, as well as significant experience in Coronial Inquests.
