Experience
With a background in prison law, Taeylor has delivered expert guidance in highly complex parole cases, particularly those involving serious offences such as rape, murder, and terrorism. Her expertise enables her to support clients effectively through these challenging circumstances.

She is also frequently out at court assisting clients directly at both Magistrate and Crown Court hearings and procedural matters. Taeylor also regularly assists with police station matters to provide immediate legal advice and support during interviews and investigations.

Notable work

  • In the case of an IPP client who was 15 years beyond tariff, all professionals recommended a transfer to open prison. Nevertheless, we successfully secured his release, rather than placement in open prison, by demonstrating that the risk management plan was comprehensive and effective.

  • Handling complex category A reviews for individuals on whole life orders.

  • Supporting individuals in Close Supervision Centres within His Majesty's Prison and facilitating their transition out of CSC units.

Outside of the office
Taeylor enjoys spending time with her dog.
