About Nina Ali
Nina was formerly a qualified cardiology nurse and qualified as a solicitor in 2002, having trained at Hodge Jones & Allen. She specialised in medical negligence from the outset and ran a comprehensive range of cases in this area. She has a special interest in cardiac and fatal cases. She also has a keen interest in psychiatric cases and is committed to working towards ensuring the same levels of accountability that prevail in general medicine to this currently very poorly represented area.
She is a Law Society Accredited Clinical Negligence Panel Member and fluent in Urdu, Hindi and Punjabi. Nina is ranked in Chambers UK, 2023 and Legal 500, 2023.
Nina was also recognised by Chambers UK as EDI Champion (Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Champion). She is one of the nine lawyers who were recognised for their above and beyond contribution to equality, and their work with people who are in some way vulnerable, or have historically been mistreated.
Nina Ali received a Lifetime Achievement Award from The Society of Asian Lawyers in December 2021.
