The value and complexity of Aliyah’s cases means that the vast majority of her work is in the High Court of Justice.

Aliyah is a robust and persuasive trial advocate. She prides herself on working closely as a team with instructing solicitors, not just in group litigation, but in every case in which she is involved. Her focus is always on maximising the client’s prospects of success. She is able to cut through the background noise and gets straight to the issues.

Leading junior2
Aliyah Akram  – Outer Temple Chambers ‘Aliyah is extremely strong on challenging asbestos disease claims. She knows the case law inside out and has been involved as a junior in some ground breaking work in recent years, so she can temper her view of the law with her experience in front of the bench.’
