OUR STORY

Legacy Law Chambers traces its roots to the year 2005 when Mr. M. S. A. Wadood, the Head of Chambers, first set up his practice focusing on Litigation, with a small team of lawyers. Over the years, the Chambers expanded into many areas of practice primarily focusing on Mediation as an effective mode of alternative dispute resolution whilst specialising in other diverse areas of the law including Commercial and Civil litigation, Arbitration, Commercial and Corporate Advisory, Foreign Investments, Mergers and Acquisitions, Employment and Labour.

One of our key strengths has been in advising and guiding family businesses to suit specific preferences whilst preserving the traditions of the family with a view to provide them with bespoke holistic legal services.
