Biography
I am a pupil barrister based at Trinity Chambers, Newcastle Upon-Tyne and will commence practising in civil/commercial law from July 2024.
By background I am an academic lawyer and have taught personal injury/negligence law for several years. I also have adjudicative experience in health and education; I sit as a tribunal chair and a member in regulatory proceedings against healthcare professionals, namely, nurses and doctors. I am an independent lay member of Newcastle City Council’s School Admissions Appeal Panel and a School Governor at a High School in North Tyneside where I have chaired the school exclusion committee. Further career background can be found at the weblink. Should it be needed, I speak Gujarati and offer cultural understanding of disputes within the South Asian/Indian community. Those interested in choosing me as a mediator can get in touch for an initial conversation to see if my involvement will be suitable. From July 2024, please contact the civil clerks at Trinity Chambers.
