Practice Areas

Zia’s mastery of all areas of real estate litigation, combined with a commercial chancery background that gives her an outstanding grasp of property insolvency, has led authoritative sources to brand her “the pre-eminent property litigation silk".

Renowned as “ruthless in cross-examinations”, Zia is a specialist property litigation and commercial chancery barrister, whose broad practice encompasses all areas of real property and landlord and tenant work. Equally expert in a range of related chancery disputes, including company and insolvency matters, she boasts specialist experience in telecoms litigation, and social housing.

When a case demands the best, few can rival Zia’s expertise. Clients and instructing solicitors rave about her “incredibly sharp legal brain,” her “user-friendly and pragmatic” approach, and her devastating courtroom skills, with one labelling her “the best cross-examiner I have ever seen.” These abilities are complemented by written advocacy “so exceptional that the opposing side will often do everything to avoid going to trial,” her renowned commitment to client service makes her the complete package.

Zia’s practice spans the whole property litigation field. Zia has considerable experience in rent review, valuation issues generally, the 1954 Act, easements, dilapidations, service charges, and overage disputes, as well as litigation involving sale, finance and development agreements, including development disputes with significant planning elements. Release fee damages is another field she has a particular interest in and experience.

Zia has represented clients in mediations for over 25 years and is an ADR Group accredited mediator. She has successfully mediated numerous large and multi-party disputes.
