Bahareh has also led and supervised leading cases in the Court of Appeal as well as challenging by way of a High Court Appeal . She has conducted a variety of cases, including property related litigation, contested possession claims, disputes arising for misrepresentation on sales and purchases and Party Wall Act claims.

She has acted for clients on a group action, securing positive outcomes for her clients without the need for contested trial.

Bahareh’s approach to property disputes and litigation has been to consider alternative means and to avoid court process and litigation, and where possible to address matters with the opponent in a conciliatory approach, without the need for litigation however, where this is not possible, Bahareh is a confident and strong litigator in areas of property disputes and enjoys presenting her client’s cases raising points of law, and finding arguments to further her client’s case.
