Nicholas Collings, Counsel, Atkin Chambers
“For a client with a hard case to fight, I would not hesitate to recommend that they have Irvinder in their corner. She is not only an excellent lawyer, she is also phenomenally hard-working and leaves no stone unturned in order to get the very best possible result for her client. She is also a highly effective negotiator, capable of combining a steely toughness with great persuasive skills; she is particularly good in mediations. Most importantly of all though, she is unfailingly good-humored and a real pleasure to work with.”
Prabhat Nagar – former Vice President Legal, Max Group of Companies, New Delhi, India.
“KSB Law acted for us as co-counsel in an international commercial arbitration of great sensitivity, complexity and value. Irvinder's knowledge and experience of international arbitration rules and applicable laws were of immense value as was her professional hands on approach combined with preparation and skilful drafting of documents, cogent advice, and her powerful representation of our case.
Irvinder's excellent interaction with the arbitral tribunal was matched by her extremely positive interconnect with the entire client and legal team, including co-counsel, from India. She was a pleasure to work with!”
Ana Rowley, Education Services Planning and Resources Manager, XX County Council
“Irvinder combines a ferocious intellect with unswerving tenacity. Her ability to apply forensic analysis whilst never losing sight of the bigger picture gives her clients the kind of attention and support that is so often lacking with others. Determined and fearless, her no nonsense approach is devastatingly effective.”
Adam Zombory-Moldovan, Director, ZMMA Limited
“I worked as an architect expert on a matter led by Irvinder, and experienced her inspired and inspiring, strategic leadership. Always working collaboratively with the team she assembled, she drove the matter with a clear-headed, incisive, analytical approach. Irvinder posed clever questions which served to reveal and progressively build the strength of the case, and which exposed the very best way of exploiting weaknesses on the other side. Her tireless enthusiasm and keen eye on the goal kept us all motivated.
Every encounter with her was a pleasure - she always brought humour, energy and imaginative insight to the table. It's rare to see such a cohesive and collaborative team, with a clear view of the goal, a result of her strong and energetic direction. There was always a grounded realism in her vision for the matter, testing the strength of the case in real detail, while aiming high. Needless to say the case developed into a very successful settlement outcome, to the great advantage of the Client.”
Andy Wicking Founder and Managing Director of Reddoor Homes Limited
“Irvinder's wealth of knowledge and expertise is second to none. In our property business there is often an aspect of the law or a potential dispute that we need to discuss with Irvinder and she always has the answer. It may not always be the answer we want, but her frank and honest approach has ultimately saved us unquantifiable time, money and stress. I would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone in need.”
Nigel Bellamy, Founder and Director of 8build Limited
“Irvinder has provided independent legal advice and support to our business over many years and has responded quickly and efficiently to our various business needs.
We have often required general legal advice on various types of business issue, on each occasion Irvinder has been knowledgeable and quick thinking but ever mindful of the business needs and costs of the various approaches in a commercial world.
On other occasions we have sought detailed legal advice on contractual documents before we committed, she has always given sensible and accurate advice on all points together with sensible options for negotiated solutions so we could move forward positively.
At all times Irvinder's service has been very cost effective and excellent value for the high quality of expert advice given, she is a rare find in the legal world!
I would recommend Irvinder to others as an important, knowledgeable, and valuable member of any team!”
Gurpreet Singh, Head of Legal XX County Council
“Although an external consultant, for over 8 years, Irvinder embodied a team spirit and worked exceptionally hard in our best interests. Her wide range of knowledge coupled with her hands-on experience meant she was entrusted with and provided advice and representation on some of our largest commercial and construction matters including disputes with contractors and professional consultants, and PFI contracts, in arbitration and mediation to great effect.
As team leader Irvinder was not only competent, but wise and empathetic to team members.
When advising / reporting to the Client Senior Board members Irvinder was always prepared, clear, independent and frank, and ready with recommendations for a practical and commercial way forward.”
Marcel Nadal, Managing Director, Fircroft Services Limited.
“I have known Irvinder for over ten years and would be happy to recommend her as counsel in any dispute, be it in arbitration or mediation. My experience as a client of KSB Law Consultants Limited has always been a very pleasant, reassuring, hopeful, and positive one. Irvinder's intelligence, personal commitment and professionalism are beyond most clients would expect. She is approachable, sympathetic and has showed great understanding in most areas she was involved. To name but few; regulations that relate to Social care sector, housing, construction, Leases and contractual disputes. I have been impressed with Irvinder's analytical and persuasive skills. More importantly, in my view, Irvinder delivers on time everything she agrees to do and does it extremely well.”
David R. Dungar MCIOB, FinstCES, Director, Nexus Consultants Limited (expert witness and claims consultant)
“Irvinder has a skill set rarely found in a single individual in construction because, as I have experienced, her career has seen her in many varied roles within the industry.
The two most recent (large) construction cases had many points of technical and legal complexity, involved adjudication and/or arbitration but were settled by Mediation.
In cases involving a number of multi-disciplined experts, Irvinder was extremely good at understanding and dovetailing the technical input from the various experts (myself included, acting as programming and quantum expert) in order to put forward the most cogent and compelling case for the client.
As Mediation team leader, Irvinder is adept at seeking a favourable and cost effective solution, articulating the strengths and weaknesses of the case (technical and legal) to senior representatives of the client and highlighting the strengths of the case to the other party/Mediator.
The highest accolade I can give Irvinder is that she can absorb technical, legal, and financial issues quickly, and communicate the position in comprehensive and understandable terms to the client.”
Chris Gabriel, Architect, Project Manager, xx County Council (retired)
“In large inter-related disputes involving claims from a contractor and against the world renowned lead professional consultants in an award winning project, Irvinder led the dispute resolution process very effectively bringing all of her considerable experience and knowledge to bear in the day-to-day activities and the final negotiations. From the outset, she was very perceptive and quickly identified the strengths and weaknesses of our case, which gave me some optimism on the likely outcome. I was particularly impressed with how she always remained very positive and good humoured.
During the arbitration/ tribunal stages she was very focused, efficient, firm yet calm in handling the sometimes-unreasonable conduct of our opponents. She was very skilful in the negotiations during the resultant mediation where she had set out a very clear strategy for the client so that all relevant matters were properly addressed, and was ultimately able to secure a very satisfactory outcome. Irvinder gave very clear advice at all times and was a great pleasure to work with. I have no hesitation in recommending her.”
Sanjay Agarwal, Property Construction and Development, Kent
“In one form or another I have been a client of KSB Law for over 20 years. Irvinder's track record speaks for herself with an extremely high success rate spanning with advice, mediation and several litigations from small to life changing cases ending up in High Court. Her succinct grasp, conviction, unflinching and firm performance coupled with dedication to the highest level, negotiation and people skills.
In Construction and Property, Irvinder's range of specialised knowledge, commercial outlook and experience coupled with associations of all levels has been particularly useful for me with the direct access and personal service being a particular bonus.
Having recommended Irvinder for general advice and a full service on many occasions - the feedback has been nothing but positive.
I am sure many would agree that it is not recommended to be on the receiving end.”
James Pearson, Service Improvement Programme Manager, Libraries, Registration and Archives XX County Council
“Since bringing Irvinder into the final account resolution matter with XY she has made a real positive impact. Her knowledge, skills and experience have been invaluable in moving this matter forward in a positive direction. When Irvinder became involved XX were on the back foot and the consultants working on our behalf were not on top of the situation. It is in no small part down to her influence and work that we are now more on the front foot and 100% more likely to get a better result for XX at the end.
She has a wealth of knowledge of contract disputes in a wide range of areas and this has been really helpful to clarify a number of the issues we have faced and get to the real heart of the matter. I for one have really valued this as has helped raise my confidence in this matter from what seemed quite an impenetrable problem.
Irvinder has been key in moving this forward and I would recommend her to anyone else in a similar situation. My thanks for her work so far.”
Punam Gupta, Senior Project Manager, The Corporate Action Company
“Irvinder worked on contracts for The Corporate Action Company with large financial institutions. The contracts were complex involving both software provision and ongoing licence and support. Despite being an area that then was relatively new to her, Irvinder sought to understand our company and business practices and tackled it with the professionalism that she brings to all that she does. She was anticipatory and responsive, guiding us through the various pitfalls and issues that we as small company may face and ensuring that we had a watertight contract. Irvinder is extremely thorough and diligent and leaves no stone unturned.”
Dr Stuart Matthews, Associate & Formerly Chief Engineer Construction, Building Research Establishment

Christy Holden, Former Head of Commissioning, XX County Council
“Disputes with providers of care services requires meticulous understanding of both the micro and macro issues faced by all parties, particularly when the issues are financial.
Irvinder grasped the facts of the matter very quickly and offered clear options and approaches, detailing the risks and listening our views.
Her approach to challenging and playing back our views was done so with the utmost professionalism pre and post mediation. Coupled with her clarity and friendliness I would not hesitate to recommend Irvinder to anyone in the same position”
Raja Sengupta, Founder and Director of EqualIP Ltd
“It can be a challenge to find someone who will advise you appropriately. Legal agreements can be complex but also require a swift response – still KSB and Irvinder ensure sufficient time is taken to understand and consider issues thoroughly before providing a clear synopsis of pros and cons, benefits and costs whether in drafting agreements, or considering live and anticipating potential issues.
Efficient and effective, I am also grateful for the out of the box and proactive thinking that Irvinder brings to our exchanges. Clients feel their interests are protected and that they may take decisions with sufficient knowledge and assurance.”
