Bio
Sonehal Kooner
Suki is an incredibly astute lawyer with unrivalled leadership qualities and commercial focus. I was fortunate to begin my legal career under Suki’s management and a lot of my own personal achievements in the profession stem from the lessons and skills that I have learnt from him. His eye for detail and unwavering hunger to improve year on year are second to none. Over the years, I’ve found myself inhibiting his leadership behaviours and passing on the same lessons that he once taught me to those who I have had the pleasure in mentoring. Putting his professional ability to one side, Suki is someone who keeps his family at the heart of what he does and his human touch can often be seen in the workplace where he treats everyone with fairness and he isn’t afraid to support and nurture rising talent regardless of their background or other distinguishing characteristics. I owe a huge amount to Suki and count myself lucky to have worked alongside him.

I have had the pleasure of working with Suki for 17 years on group litigation cases against major tour operators. I have always found Suki to be thorough, easy to work with and extremely professional. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

Responsible for leading International Personal Injury Department. I lead a large team that primarily deal with group actions against U.K. based tour operators, or single party actions against defendants in foreign countries (often working with foreign agent lawyers). My team currently handles in excess of 2000 clients and handle a range of different cases against major U.K. tour operators. Some of the cases where large numbers of people have fallen ill on holiday are the largest of their kind ever pursued in the U.K. and have resulted in multi-million pound settlements. I am a recognised leader in the Personal Injury market and recommended in the Legal 500 and Chambers directory for over 10 years.
