Naheed is an expert in family law and has worked on complex and high value divorce cases often with a multi-jurisdictional aspect, as well as contact disputes and financial settlements following separation.

As head of family, Naheed will oversee the strategy, management and supervision of the family team at Calibrate, which is an integral part of the service offering to clients: ‘I am delighted to embark on this new adventure supported by a fully-fledged team who are all well placed to be protecting the interest of clients in these challenging times. This is an exciting time for Calibrate Law, and I am thrilled to be a part of it.’

Calibrate Law commented: ‘After a long and exclusive search we are confident that Naheed and Ben will add the passion and drive for a better outcome within the world of family law.’

Founder investor, John White further added: ‘Naheed and Ben are a breath of fresh air within an industry that is ripe for disruption.’
