Satinder Hunjan KC

Kings Chambers

'Satinder has to be one of the best if not the best KC around. His mastery of the expert evidence and pleading of a case is outstanding. There is nobody better in handling settlements of cases at mediation or a joint settlement meeting. He is also outstanding when it comes to advocacy but his excellent management of cases often means they never get to trial.'
