I am a barrister and was called to the Bar in 1998. I was born and brought up in West London and am the eldest of four siblings. I went to state schools throughout my education and did not have any connections to the law when I was growing up.

My parents are from East Africa, as first-generation immigrants they came to the UK in the 1970s. I was born and raised in North London.

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 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 qualified as a solicitor in 2012 and the focus of my private practice is intellectual property and technology litigation.

I am a solicitor advocate; I started my legal working life in the City, doing insurance, banking and regulatory litigation.

As a child, I had no aspirations to become a lawyer but a keen interest in the world around me, and a desire to contribute something useful in the public sector.

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