Philip Rule KC, Head of Public Law Group, commented, “We are delighted to welcome Rehana to the group, adding to some recent joiners who have each brought specific talents and expertise to our team. Rehana has been called to the Bar in Bermuda and the Cayman Islands as well as England and Wales, and has spent time practising in each jurisdiction. We welcome her to her new home at No5, where she will further develop her public law practice and bring her considerable experience, built over more than a decade, to her cases.”
