Once described in the directories as a “smiling assassin in the courtroom”, Kyra Cornwall has been ranked for the eighth year running in Chambers and Partners 2025 and as a Leading Junior in the Legal 500 2025, which say:
“Kyra is a brilliant advocate, who instils confidence in clients. She can digest a huge amount of complex information and is all over the detail in a case.”
“Kyra exudes confidence and charm. She’s excellent when challenged.”
“Kyra is a clever and polished barrister who approaches cases with real panache. She has great attention to detail and is a refined advocate.”
Kyra is highly specialist in complex matrimonial finance work. This includes matters involving pre- and post-marital agreements, and those involving issues relating to international corporate structures, trust issues, landed estates and jurisdiction matters.
Away from Chambers, Kyra has a deep passion for both ballet and music. Once an aspiring ballerina and an Oxbridge choral scholar, her love for the arts remains a significant part of her life. These days, she channels that creative energy into a variety of pursuits, including exploring far flung destinations and embracing the great outdoors. Currently, she is focused on honing her skiing skills.
