Area of Practice
Biography
I am a barrister based at Trinity Chambers, Newcastle Upon-Tyne with a principal practice in employment law. I also have versatile experience in civil/commercial law; from neighbour/land disputes, to personal injury/negligence, trusts and probate claims, and commercial/property matters. Having been a School Governor for several years I also receive instructions in EHCP appeals at the Special Educational Needs and Disability Tribunal. By background I began as an academic lawyer and I remain an Assistant Professor at University of Northumbria Law School. I often sit as a Tribunal Chair and Panel member in professional regulatory hearings and that experience makes me adept at seeing matters from that of a final decision-maker. Should it be needed, I speak Gujarati and offer enhanced cultural understanding of disputes within the South Asian/Indian community.
