Anisha Kiri > Mountford Chambers > London, England > Barrister Profile

Mountford Chambers
13 Ely Place
EC1N 6RY
England

Position

Anisha is a charming advocate who relentlessly fights for her clients. She has a busy practice and is routinely instructed to defend in complex cases across a range of increasingly serious charges.

Anisha has represented clients across the full spectrum of allegations including violence and sexual assault, as well as drug and acquisitive offences.

She is a sought-after junior advocate due to her energetic and efficient approach in grasping cases and has been led in a number of high-profile cases. Recently, Anisha was led in an Attempted Murder at the Old Bailey. This case involved technical legal argument surrounding the admissibility of out-of-court statements made by co-defendants against other co-defendants. Successful legal arguments led to the learned judge acceding to a submission of “no case to answer”.  Anisha has built expertise in handling technical evidence such as scheduling vast amounts of call and messaging data and reviewing hours of CCTV.

Anisha is part of the recruitment committee for chambers and a member of the Kalisher Trust’s Early Career Group, championing diversity at the Bar.
