In 2006 Caroline joined the international law firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP, training in London for two years before qualifiying into the international arbitration group in Frankfurt am Main, where she practised as a Solicitor for several years.

Caroline was recently awarded a Ph.D by the University of Lancaster for her thesis on the right to self-representation in international criminal procedure, under the supervision of Professor Peter Rowe and is now working with Professor Stefan Vogenauer on a comparative law project on the Draft Common European Sales Law and its interaction with English and German law.
