Position
Zahra has developed a successful practice encompassing regulatory and public law.
In addition to her public and regulatory practice, Zahra has been appointed as a Commissioner of the Criminal Cases Review Commission by Her Majesty the Queen. The Commission is an official independent body that investigates potential miscarriages of justice.
Zahra commenced her legal career at the Criminal Bar after having trained in-house at a criminal defence firm. She has prosecuted and defended a range of offences. She is currently instructed by the Serious Fraud Office in relation to a complex and high value investment fraud. Although her practice has diversified into other areas outside of crime, Zahra’s background has honed her oratory skills, a skillset she continues to utilise with robustness and precision when appearing before a range of tribunals, committees and courts as part of her multidisciplinary practice.
