Case studies

I am a solicitor by profession. I qualified in 2009 and specialise in private family matters such as divorce/separation, financial matters on divorce/separation, private law children matters etc.

I am a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and spent the majority of my career in private practice. 

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 am a qualified social worker and my background is as an Expert Witness and former CEO of a foster care company. I still practise as a social worker, and the majority of my other work is adjudicating on fitness to practise hearings for six health and social work regulators in the UK.

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