Louis undertook his pupillage from October 2024 with No5 Chambers under the supervision of Mugni Islam-Choudhury.
Louis’ practise is focused in the main on Employment and Personal Injury instructions. He undertakes instructions in both for parties on either side of litigation and acts at all stages of the Tribunal or court process from pre-action advice through to final hearings.

As well as this he has previously enjoyed playing football and cricket for different sports clubs and now enjoys a game of squash or a frame of pool.

He represents parties at all stages in the litigation process, with experience in case management and open preliminary hearings, judicial mediation, and final merits hearings, whilst also assisting in case progression outside of these.
He has also recently assisted in Employment Appeal Tribunal hearings, and in Interim Relief Applications.
Louis has also acted in employment related claims and service provider claims, proceeding in the county court. He has also acted in Equality Act 2010 matters before Regulatory Tribunals. His work in this area has involved the drafting of pleadings and appeals, and appearing at substantive hearings.
Louis has begun growing his practice in Personal Injury, appearing in various County Courts on behalf of both Defendants and Claimants. He frequently acts on behalf of parties in involved in a range of different circumstances from which liability arises, acting at all stages of litigation from case management and allocation up to and including trials.
He undertakes instructions for final hearings at both the small claim, fast track and intermediate track allocation for cases covering a range of liability and quantum related issues.
Louis is seeking to develop the breadth his paper-based practise, and has drafted pleadings in Occupiers Liability, Employers Lability and Discrimination cases.
