Kendya Goodman

Kendya joined Chambers in September 2023, following the successful completion of her pupillage. During pupillage she was under the supervision of Rowena Page, Richard Fowler, Thomas Fletcher, and Caley Wright.

As a pupil, Kendya gained experience across the breadth of Chambers’ specialisms, including company disputes, insolvency, and complex civil fraud litigation. She has since been developing a commercial chancery practice which encompasses a broad range of company and insolvency work. She appeared, unled, for the successful applicants in Little and another v Olympian Homes Ltd [2024] EWHC 1766 (Ch), a case in which the High Court considered contractual waiver by estoppel in the context of an application to set aside a statutory demand.

Kendya has a particular passion for charities disputes and advisory work. She delivered the "Legal Update" at the Charities Law Association Conference in 2024. She regularly undertakes pro bono work as an Advocate member, and raised £2,296 for Advocate by running the London Landmarks Half-marathon.

Before coming to the Bar, Kendya received a first-class degree in History & Politics from New College, Oxford. She was president of New College Junior Common Room (the body representing undergraduates) in 2018-19. She then completed her Graduate Diploma in Law and Bar Vocational Studies at City University, as the Pump Court Tax Chambers scholar in 2022.
