Dijen Basu KC –Serjeants’ Inn Chambers ‘Dijen is like a wolf in sheep’s clothing. He is unassuming but it is an absolute marvel to witness him on his feet. He does not shy away from challenging a witness even when the subject matter is extremely sensitive. He also takes no prisoners when it comes to attacking the position of opposing counsel. Fearless, there is no other word.’
