We are delighted to announce that Sana Hamid has completed her first six months of pupillage and now has her rights of audience. She can now accept instructions.
Sana is undertaking a criminal pupillage. She brings a huge amount of experience and knowledge prior to commencing pupillage and we know she will utilise this experience in her second-six and beyond.
Prior to commencing pupillage, Sana was a senior paralegal at Edwards Duthie Shamash Solicitors for three years, primarily working in the serious crime department. During her time at the firm, she worked on a broad range of cases, including multiple murder cases, sexual offences, serious drug offences and large-scale complex fraud matters before the Crown Court and Court of Appeal.
Sana also represented a range of clients as a Self-Employed Police Station Accredited Representative before commencing Pupillage.
During her Bar Course at the University of Law, she undertook an LLM in Pro Bono Practice, specialising in immigration law and representing clients at the First-tier Immigration Tribunal. During pupillage, she also shadowed her first-six supervisor who sits as a Judge at the appeal tribunal at Taylor House.
A warm welcome from all of us at 5SAH Chambers.
