What He Handles
Core Practice Areas
01Commercial Litigation
Complex business disputes: breach of contract, director and shareholder disputes, and money claims.
02Property & Chancery
Property disputes and Chancery matters, including Property Tribunal proceedings.
03Court Support
Case support across the High Court King's Bench and Chancery Divisions, the County Court and the Property Tribunal.
04Alternative Dispute Resolution
Mediation and arbitration where a negotiated outcome beats litigation on cost, time and relationships.
The Foundations
Professional Background & Education
Asfandyar was called to the Bar by the Honourable Society of Lincoln's Inn in 2022, of which he remains a member, and holds a Master's degree in Civil Litigation — an advocate's training applied daily to dispute strategy and case preparation.
In Practice
Litigation & Court Experience
His casework spans the High Court's King's Bench and Chancery Divisions, the County Court and the Property Tribunal: commercial agreement litigation, director and shareholder disputes, money claims and property matters, each prepared with an advocate's sense of how the case will actually run at a hearing.
Alternative Dispute Resolution
Not every dispute belongs in court. Asfandyar supports mediation and arbitration where they offer the faster, more cost-efficient route — advising clients honestly on when to settle from strength and when to press on.
How He Works
Creative Problem-Solving
Personable and reliable, Asfandyar gives clear advice with a friendly touch, helping clients navigate litigation with ease and confidence. A background on stage and television gives him something rarer in a litigator: presence, and a creative angle on problems that don't yield to the standard playbook.
