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.

Property Law

Sajjad has extensive experience of acting in property related matters, with a particular specialism in claims brought by co-owners under the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996 (whether they be co-habiting partners, business partners or family investors). He has acted in both sole name and joint names cases and further in parent/child disputes involving allegations of undue influence, duress and/or gift.  Sajjad also has extensive experience of commercial disputes with a property element, such as partnership disputes and disputes arising from joint venture agreements. By way of example, Sajjad has acted in a claim for professional negligence following rescission of a contract for sale of property; a claim for rectification of the land register founded on allegations of fraud and a claim relating to properties purchased pursuant to a joint venture.

Sajjad acts in commercial property disputes for both landlords and tenants, in claims primarily brought under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 and service charge disputes.
