Case studies

I qualified as a barrister in 1986 and went on to specialise in insolvency and corporate litigation. I love the diversity and the challenges that my practice provides and have been extremely happy with my career choice.

I had always wanted to pursue a career in law. I trained as a solicitor at a criminal defence solicitors before qualifying and becoming a Prosecutor in the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).

I am a salaried Employment Judge based in Manchester from 2019. Prior to this appointment I sat as a fee-paid Employment Tribunal Judge in Wales and I continue to sit on cases in Wales, particularly in mid and North Wales which involve Welsh speaking parties or witnesses.

I was called to the Bar in 2006 and since then I have been fortunate enough to have had a varied career working both at the Bar and within executive positions.

Tribunal judge Samina Majid was appointed as a fee-paid judge of the First-tier Tribunal, Social Entitlement Chamber, in 2019.

I was born in Ipoh, Malaysia, and attended school in Malaysia and England before studying law at the University of Nottingham. 

I attended my local comprehensive and read English at university before converting to law. I qualified as a barrister but spent most of my career as a solicitor. For 20 years I worked in global law firms specialising in complex cross-border finance transactions.

I grew up in Cardiff and went to the local comprehensive school, before studying law at university. After returning to Wales for my LPC, I trained in a large regional firm in Bristol and went on to specialise in civil litigation.

I was the first in my family to attend university, gaining a First Class Degree. I also qualified as a Registered General Nurse and Registered Midwife.
