Three new barristers have accepted offers of tenancy at Parklane Plowden Chambers after successfully completing their pupillages.
Bharat Jangra and Sophie Watson have joined the Leeds- and Newcastle-based chambers as tenants, having initially been called in 2021, and will sit within the set’s civil law practice areas. Also called in 2021, Andrew Mohamdee has become a member of Parklane Plowden’s family practice.
Jangra becomes a tenant after completing his specialist civil law pupillage at Parklane Plowden under the supervision of barristers Gemma Lieberman and Tim Wilkinson.
Watson, a specialist civil law practitioner with a particular focus on employment, inquests and personal injury, commenced her pupillage last October. She was supervised by barristers Leila Benyounes, Colin Richmond and Andrew Sugarman.
Parklane Plowden’s clinical negligence and personal injury practice director, John Hammond, said: “Bharat and Sophie are both highly talented. Their respective pupillages have enabled them to gain exposure to an array of civil law matters, and this experience will benefit both our clients and the set.”
Specialising in family finance and private children work, Andrew Mohamdee commenced his pupillage last October under the supervision of barristers Farzana Tai and Lucy Sowden.
Commenting on Andrew’s tenancy, Parklane Plowden’s senior practice director to the family team, Mark Williams, said: “Andrew is a highly knowledgeable practitioner in family law, so we are very pleased that he has accepted the offer of tenancy.
“He will further strengthen the expertise that Parklane Plowden offers clients across the North Eastern Circuit and beyond.”
