I am building a commercial, arbitration, and chancery practice as part of Chambers’ Business and Property Team. My experience spans commercial litigation and arbitration, company and insolvency, trusts and estates, property, construction, and civil fraud.
I graduated from King’s College London top of my class and was fortunate to win a number of academic awards. I then read for the BCL at Oriel College Oxford and undertook the Bar Course at City Law School as Cassel Scholar of Lincoln’s Inn, graduating with a distinction.
I regularly appear as sole counsel in applications and multi-day trials in the county court, and I have extensive advocacy experience in the High Court. I also have appellate experience, having worked on multiple appeals to the High Court, Court of Appeal, and Supreme Court.
Before coming to the Bar, I was Visiting Lecturer at King’s College London and Guest Lecturer at LSE. I also interned with the International Arbitration group at Wilmerhale where I assisted with editing and updating Gary Born’s International Commercial Arbitration.
Highlight of recent instructions include:
I speak Arabic fluently and am building a practice in international arbitration.
Outside of law, I enjoy going to the theatre (I used to be a semi-professional theatre actor), reading (fiction, history and politics), collecting vintage watches, ties and jeans, swimming (badly but enthusiastically), hanging out with friends, and following the trials and tribulations of Manchester United
Examples of instructions include:
Reported authorities I assisted with during pupillage include:
I have appeared at all levels of hearings, including final Part 8 hearings in matters relating to trusts and estates. I regularly advise on the validity of wills, removal/substitution of executors, as well as proposed Inheritance Act 1975 claims.
I am regularly instructed on urgent interim and final injunction applications, which I have presented both in the county court and the High Court. Highlights include presenting an urgent injunction to restrain a company from selling products in the UK in breach of a sole distributorship agreement before Sir Antony Mann in the Interim Applications Court.
