Expert Opinion

“We’re pleased to be welcoming someone with Kamal’s experience and calibre to our fast-growing will dispute team which is already one of the largest in the UK. We’re passionate about helping people through their disputes. This can be a very emotional time for people who have often lost someone close to them and are then immediately faced with problems, often involving family members or someone else close to them. We work with our clients to find the right resolution for them whether that is via a collaborative mediation process or by taking a tougher approach via the courts.” Paula Myers - Partner
