Sajjad is a specialist Commercial and Property litigator with over 20-years of experience of Court and Tribunal work. His practice comprises a healthy split between pleading/advisory and Court work. He is noted for his “fluid, adaptable and comprehensive witness handling skills” and for “providing an excellent service of competence and efficiency”. Having formerly practised as a solicitor at a city law firm, Sajjad is well able to understand the needs of both private and corporate clients as well as the commercial realities of litigation. This can be particularly useful in terms of advising on case preparation and development of a case theory at an early stage. 

Sajjad establishes close working relationships with the solicitors who instruct him and is noted for his ability to focus on clients’ commercial imperatives and his strategic approach to litigation. Sajjad was appointed Deputy District Judge in March 2019 and sits in various Courts on the London and Southeast Circuit.

Business Law

Sajjad acts in a wide range of commercial disputes, whether litigated in the High Court or County Court, or otherwise dealt with through mediation or at round table meetings. He is equally good at dealing with clients who want to have their day in court and those who wish to reach an out of court settlement for commercial reasons, usually being the mitigation of costs liability. 

Sajjad represents clients in claims ranging from construction, supply of goods and services and agency to professional negligence and general commercial contractual disputes. He also has experience of claims involving the marshalling of securities; partnership disputes and fraud. He is especially adept at dealing with technical disputes which require a particular attention to detail and forensic analysis.
