Mohamed Bangura—Neale Turk Rochfort

Employment law solicitor joins firm

Neale Turk Rochfort has appointed a new solicitor to join the staff. Mohamed Bangura, a solicitor specialising in employment law, discrimination law and litigation, joins the Kings Ride firm. 

Mohamed, who has a law degree from London University, has specialised in employment and civil law, working on a number of high profile cases. He now aims to bring his experience to broaden the firm’s reach, alongside growing the firm’s profile in employment and litigation. Mohamed also intends to extend the firm’s expertise into other practice areas including education law. 

"We have known Mohamed and admired his work for some while and are delighted he will be bringing his considerable following of clients from London", comments senior partner Eila Rochfort. "He is an experienced and steely litigator and will provide a strong additional presence to our team in Camberley. As a firm we are well known for our residential and commercial property work, as well as our expertise in family and children law, wills and probate, and elderly clients. This new appointment will add substantially to the help and advice we can give to our clients."

Mohamed grew up in Freetown, Sierra Leone. He returned to England to study law and after obtaining his degree he was trained at Bart Williams & Co, joined Alomo Solicitors in 2006 and later W&J Solicitors, before moving to Charles Allotey in 2012. He has worked to secure justice for his clients in employment and discrimination related cases and believes in helping those less able to help themselves.

"I am very much looking forward to joining Neale Turk Rochfort," he comments, "and moving from London to an area where I can best advise and support both employers and employees. I will be helping to expand the practice and develop new areas of work, including education law cases, alongside the already established practice areas covered by the firm".
