Amrik Singh Wahiwala became a tenant in chambers following the successful completion of pupillage.

He now enjoys a busy mixed practice, regularly appearing in courts across East Anglia.

Amrik prides himself on his meticulous approach to cases and is happy to liaise with instructing solicitors to ensure the best possible outcome for lay clients and professional clients alike.

A solicitor who regularly instructs him comments : “He has the ability to liaise with a whole variety of clients from varied backgrounds; he shows ability and experience beyond his years, has a very fluent and appealing advocacy style and is well liked by clients.”

Prior to pupillage, Amrik spent time working for a firm of solicitors and so he is acutely aware of the requirements of those who now instruct him.
