I am Barrister Maria Arif, a dedicated legal professional with a strong commitment to justice and a profound respect for each client’s individual journey. My mission is clear: to provide precise, honest, and effective legal representation, regardless of the complexity of the case.
I have had the privilege of representing individuals, families, government bodies, and businesses across a wide range of legal matters. From sensitive family disputes to intricate constitutional petitions and serious criminal trials, I approach every case with the same rigorous commitment: thorough research, strategic analysis, and steadfast advocacy.
I trained as a Barrister-at-Law after completing my LLB (Hons) at Cardiff University, Wales, and went on to pursue the Bar Professional Training Course at the Honourable Society of Lincoln’s Inn, alongside a Diploma in Legal Practice Skills. I later earned dual Master’s degrees in Company Law and Advanced Criminal Litigation from City, St. George’s, University, London.
With this strong foundation in courtroom advocacy, statutory interpretation, and legal drafting, I approach every case with diligence, empathy, and a focus on practical solutions — not only as your legal representative, but as a trusted advisor in moments that matter.
