(Leading Juniors)Ranked: Tier 2Ali Rafati – KBG Chambers ‘Ali is a formidable trial advocate and a standout barrister in his field in the South West. He is particularly effective in cross-examination of witnesses at trial and in closing speeches to the jury. His knowledge of the law and application to any case is second to none.’
