Serjeants' Inn—Nageena Khalique QC

Serjeants’ Inn has announced the appointment of Nageena Khalique QC to the set.

Nageena joins chambers from her previous position of deputy head of chambers and leader of the Court of Protection, inquest and inquiries, and public and administrative law teams at No5 Chambers, where she had worked for over 24 years. She brings with her a wealth of experience in medical and public law, spanning inquests, social care and education, clinical negligence and regulatory matters. She is also an expert in Court of Protection cases, including both health and welfare, and property and affairs, as well as the chair of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) Guideline Committee, which is developing guidance on the safeguarding of adults in care homes.

Commenting on Nageena’s arrival, joint CEO of Serjeants’ Inn Catherine Calder said: ‘This is a perfect fit because Nageena epitomises what Serjeants’ Inn is about: working hand in hand with clients on the cases which really count, legally, socially and ethically.

‘Nageena’s arrival crystallises the progress we have made over the last three years—numbers have increased by 35% with a gain of 11 silks. The set has won 23 awards in the same period and was one of the first chambers to be recognised by the Bar Council for its excellence on well-being. Most importantly it continues to attract the key briefs in crucial cases, such as Alfie Evans, the Deepcut inquests, and the end of life treatment case.’
