Barrister; Year of Call 2014.

Sajid Suleman specialises in commercial litigation and international arbitration. His practice encompasses civil fraud and asset recovery, banking and financial services, fintech and digital assets, company, shareholder and partnership disputes, investment disputes, insolvency and sanctions. He appears regularly in the Commercial Court and the Chancery Division, before the DIFC and ADGM Courts, and in arbitrations under the ICC, LCIA, DIAC, LMAA and ICSID Rules. He acts for and against banks and financial institutions, multinational corporates, investment funds, states and state-owned entities, and high-net-worth individuals.

Sajid’s arbitration practice spans energy and natural resources, construction, financial services, technology and digital assets, and shipping, and includes both commercial and investor-State disputes. Sajid is regularly instructed by Russian and CIS-based clients in investment disputes in London and the Middle East and is experienced in the sensitive issues that frequently accompany such work, including the enforcement of judgments and awards, sanctions exposure and related questions of asset control and compliance.

Much of Sajid’s work involves parallel proceedings in multiple jurisdictions, questions of foreign law and urgent interim relief. He is regularly instructed at short notice in applications for domestic and worldwide freezing orders, anti-suit and anti-arbitration injunctions, and Norwich Pharmacal and Bankers Trust relief.
