Personal Injury
Azeem is a specialist in personal injury. He regularly conducts cases involving fatal accidents, very serious injuries, dental injuries and whiplash-type injuries. Having completed a large volume of advices over the years, he is considered to be an expert in providing solicitors with views on the valuation of cases, and also tactics and strategy, particularly in cases which may continue for many years. He has a wealth of experience in understanding when it is correct strategically to settle a case and when it is better to “hold out” for longer. He also specialises in compiling complex schedules of loss or damage often leading to very successful results.
Credit Hire
At the outset of his career, Azeem was instructed to provide new and interesting ways of arguing points on insured hire subrogation and its “sister” area of credit hire. He was involved in test cases and his experience in these areas has grown from strength to strength to the point where he is now considered an expert in this specialist area. He has recently dealt with, and was led by Andrew Edis QC, in a national credit hire test case on "cancellation" notices - Salat v Barutis.
Consumer Credit
Azeem has defended a variety of clients involved in disputes with banks concerning signed consumer credit agreements. He has a wealth of knowledge of the Consumer Credit Act and its various satellite legislation, which he has successfully used to defend clients being sued for vast amounts of money by banks. He has found that in cases where a consumer has signed a consumer credit agreement, there is almost always scope to argue substantial points for the consumer.
Contract
Azeem has substantial experience in contract cases generally, and commercial cases in particular.
Education
- LLB Hons (University of Liverpool)
