MARTINE Snowdon, a barrister at Exchange Chambers in Liverpool, has been named as a "future star of the regions" by The Times newspaper.
Martine was one of only two barristers profiled in the feature which details "the UK's bright young lawyers".
The report says: "Martine Snowdon, 30, manages to combine being a mother of three with daily appearances in criminal trials and training for the World Triathlon Championships in Vancouver next year, where she will represent Britain.
“After attending her local comprehensive in Liverpool, Snowden studied law at the University of Liverpool, then received a full scholarship from Lincoln’s Inn to attend Bar School in London.
“Returning to Merseyside to undertake pupillage at Exchange Chambers in 2000, Snowdon quickly gained the trust of clerks, leading her to be instructed on a variety of important cases. A veteran of several rape trials, she is currently acting as part of a team involved in prosecuting a group of defendants for conspiracy to defraud Revenue & Customs."
