Rahul is a trainee solicitor based at Keystone’s Central Office. He works closely with the firm’s family and litigation lawyers. Prior to joining, he gained invaluable experience in dispute resolution, assisting high-net-worth and international clients across a range of commercial and family law matters.
Rahul has had excellent exposure to complex cross-border disputes, including LCIA, ICC, LMAA and ad hoc arbitrations spanning a variety of industry sectors.
I must say that both Counsel and Rahul’s approach on the day was exceptional. They dealt with Andrea’s case in the most professional and courteous way and Rahul is to be commended for his excellent people skills!
Ms P
His quality of work, enterprise and assumption of responsibility are all redolent of a 1-2 year qualified solicitor rather than a trainee.
