Specialising in employment, professional disciplinary, clinical negligence, contract, and coronial law, Rad appears before judges across the judicial spectrum, from lay magistrates to Lord Justices of Appeal. This broad experience demands versatility as an advocate, adapting to the demands of his tribunal, and is reflected by his wide client base which includes individuals, trade unions, police forces, national and multinational companies, charities, and NHS Trusts.
Rad is well known in the employment law sphere, acting for employees and employers. He tends to defend healthcare professionals and prosecute police officers at disciplinary hearings and has acted for both Trusts, doctors and families at inquests.
Before pupillage, Rad worked as a research assistant to Professor Alan Dershowitz at Harvard University and ran a niche employment law litigation practice.
Rad is an employment law specialist. He is regularly instructed across a wide range of cases covering the employment and discrimination law spectrum, including unfair dismissal, redundancy, discrimination, maternity/pregnancy rights, flexible working, whistleblowing, breach of contract, unlawful deductions of wages, and equal pay. He has a particular interest in TUPE and industrial action claims.
Rad has a wide client base which includes individuals, trade unions, national and multinational companies, charities, police forces and NHS Trusts. He regularly appears at in the Employment Tribunal, County Court, Employment Appeal Tribunal and Court of Appeal and has appeared unled in the EAT and Court of Appeal on numerous occasions.
Rad understands that the jurisdiction, by its very nature, can be very stressful. He is exceptional at making those involved feel at ease with the process and the prospect of giving evidence. Rad provides the right advice for the right situation and his judgment is highly respected by instructing solicitors.
Rad is also highly regarded for his advocacy in the coronial jurisdiction. Again, his judgment in this regard is crucial. He understands when an issue needs to be stressed or explored and when nothing should be said at all.
Rad is particularly alert to the potential regulatory consequences for many witnesses appearing at inquests given his experience of representing health professionals before their regulators. He is happy to advise in conference at any stage and on any aspect arising within this jurisdiction.
