About

I graduated with a Law LLB from the University of Leicester in 2023. During my time at university, I chose to study the following optional modules: Criminology, Commercial law, Family law and Medical law. In my third year I also took part in the SEND Project Pro Bono Group where I participated as a Legal Researcher. Following my graduation, I worked at events agencies and travelled to ten countries.

Prior to joining Edwards Duthie Shamash, I worked at a local immigration firm assisting a solicitor with his case load, liaising with clients and drafting applications. As a bi-lingual person who is also confident speaking Tamil, I was able to take instructions from clients who could not or were not comfortable speaking English.

I joined Edwards Duthie Shamash in January 2025 as Shabaz Ahmed’s paralegal. Whilst working with Shabaz, I have encountered a diverse range of offences and worked with vulnerable clients such as those who do not speak English, people with mental health issues or learning difficulties and juveniles. Of note, I assisted with the case of R -V- HW : https://edwardsduthieshamash.co.uk/news/shabaz-ahmed-snaresbrook-crown-court-acquittal/

I have completed my Police Station Representative Accreditation Scheme with Cardiff University and am a fully accredited police station representative.
