About
A legal education in London, joined to a substantial career in business.
I came to the Bar after a substantial career in business and financial services, and after a legal education undertaken in London with deliberate purpose.
It is this conjunction of commerce, financial services and the law that informs my writing and my public speaking: a concern with the instruments that actually govern enterprise, with the vocabulary of Islamic and halal home finance, and with the questions that arise for families and businesses whose lives are lived between the United Kingdom and Bangladesh.
In Barishal, I am associated with a youth sports initiative linked with the Alhaj Nur Mohammad Munsi Hospital.
