Overview

Karim has experience in and accepts instructions across all of Chambers’ core practice areas.

In the County Court, Karim regularly appears in personal injury litigation, acting for claimants and defendants in multi-track and fast track cases. His practice includes representation at trials and CCMCs, as well as drafting pleadings and advising on prospects. He will consider work on a CFA basis.

Karim also appears in the Employment Tribunal, representing both claimants and respondents in multi-day final hearings and a variety of preliminary matters. His experience includes hearings involving issues such as state immunity, anonymity/reporting restrictions applications and complex whistleblowing allegations relating to breaches of directors’ duties. He also acts in employment-related claims in the civil courts. Karim has a particular interest in industrial relations, having worked at the Cleaners and Allied Independent Workers Union prior to starting his pupillage.

Karim undertook his pupillage in Chambers under the supervision of Madeline Stanley, Bruno Gil, Laith Dilaimi and Christopher Edwards. He joined Chambers as a tenant in October 2024.

Prior to coming to the Bar, Karim worked as an economist, then in Ministerial Briefing, in the Department for Work and Pensions.
