Narita has established a strong reputation as a defence leader in the field of Disclosure.


The success of her practitioner’s guide, Tackling Disclosure in the Courts, created demand for an updated edition focusing on Digital Disclosure in the criminal courts. Known for her expertise in navigating complex disclosure issues, Narita is a sought-after specialist in Fraud and Serious Crime cases, frequently chosen by clients for Private Prosecutions and Criminal Appeals.


Her extensive experience enables her to analyse Disclosure from both prosecution and defence perspectives, addressing issues that may arise in varied and sometimes nuanced forms. From the prosecution’s scheduling of material to drafting Defence Statements that prompt disclosure, and filing abuse of process applications due to disclosure failings, these are areas in which Narita has demonstrated considerable expertise.


Narita is also recognised as a specialist in cases involving expert witnesses. Her first case in silk led to the disqualification of an expert witness, exposing significant disclosure failings. In numerous high-profile cases, Narita has unmasked disclosure errors by prosecuting authorities, with some resulting in the DPP and Attorney General being called to account before the House of Commons.


Late or incomplete disclosure often reveals systemic flaws in investigation and disclosure processes, affecting lengthy cases and the handling of disclosure material.
