Shams joined Edwin Coe in September 2014, having previously worked at other leading London firms following qualification as a solicitor in 2000.

Shams is recognised for his expertise in litigation tactics and strategy, his pro-active approach and using excellent communication skills to resolve tricky cases. He always focuses on the wider picture and the long term goals of clients. He is particularly valued for his nerve in difficult negotiations and for understanding the commercial and business needs and objectives of his clients.

Shams is an accomplished team leader and has successfully led major cases through to mediation, trial and appeal. He is experienced in using alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation where appropriate to achieve the best results for his clients.

Shams has expertise in all aspects of property litigation, including both commercial and residential and landlord and tenant. He is also a specialist in trusts litigation and dispute resolution, working as the trusted advisor to both private clients and trust companies on complex matters.

Given his international background (he is dual qualified in Pakistan and member of the UK Pakistan Chamber of Commerce to whom he has presented webinars), Shams is well placed in acting for commercial and high-net-worth private clients worldwide.
