Shuja, founder of Legal Swan Solicitors, specialises in professional discipline and regulation, and has experience in contested wills and probate, divorce, child access, personal injury and contractual disputes. She is a CEDR-accredited mediator, handling civil, family, probate and commercial disputes.
She was admitted as a solicitor in 1992 and became a Law Society council member in 2013.
Shuja said: ‘The UK’s economy is on a knife-edge and businesses are having to deal with rising interest rates and high inflation.
‘If the pandemic has proven one thing, however, it is that solicitors are resilient and adaptable.’
She has set five priorities for her time in office—ethics in the profession; public education on justice and the role of solicitors; promotion of the rule of law; public access to early legal advice, support and representation; and diversity and social mobility in the profession and judiciary.
