He has previously worked within the litigation departments of several national and Legal 500-ranked law firms, gaining extensive experience in both defended and undefended matters with a particular emphasis on asset finance and commercial debt recovery.
Raheel has managed a wide range of claims for multinational finance houses and banks, from straightforward low-value disputes to complex, high-value defended litigation. His work has included the recovery of goods from everyday consumer items to high-end goods and the enforcement of financial shortfalls through Charging Orders, Bankruptcy Petitions, and Attachment of Earnings Orders. He is well-versed in the Consumer Credit Act, and experienced in dealing with regulated and non-regulated agreements, conversion claims, “innocent purchaser” disputes, and mediation across Small, Fast and Multi-Track claims.
He has also acted for large multinational corporations in the energy, utilities, and construction sectors, managing all aspects of the debt recovery cycle from pre-litigation negotiation through to trial and enforcement.
Alongside his training, Raheel serves as the in-house Litigation Officer for a leading UK enforcement agency, representing the organisation in defended claims, mediations, and complex disputes arising under the Taking Control of Goods Regulations 2014 and CPR 85. He regularly advises on enforcement actions, fee challenges, property damage disputes, and complaints, liaising with local authorities, solicitors, and third parties at all stages of litigation.
Raheel completed his Legal Practice Course with Distinction at the University of Hertfordshire following his LLB (Hons) from the University of Northampton. During his studies, he undertook extensive pro bono work through the Citizens Advice Bureau, assisting individuals with debt, housing, and consumer law issues an experience that strengthened his commitment to access to justice and practical problem-solving.
Outside of work, Raheel is a passionate football fan and enjoys spending time with family and friends. He’s a keen follower of Guy Ritchie and Quentin Tarantino films, with a strong interest in cryptocurrency, technology, and current affairs.
