Personal Interests

Outside of work, I practice kendo (the art of the sword) and have taken part in competitions with my club. I have also graded in a number of martial arts including karate, tae kwon do and kung fu. I enjoy training at the gym and run in charity races to raise money for worthy causes.

I am also active within the firm, playing football for the HJA team and I am an active member of the LPC Mentoring scheme, helping law students with their problems and assisting them in progressing their legal careers. I have also been involved with the HJA Green Team, working to make the firm more environmentally friendly, the HJA Employee Forum, raising concerns and suggestions from the firm’s employees with management, as well as the HJA Social Committee.

I also like travelling and experiencing new cultures, and speak fluent Urdu and basic conversational French and Arabic.
