Career & Experience
Aziz is a real estate specialist with a particular focus on Islamic finance transactions. He acts for financial institutions in connection with senior, stretch senior and mezzanine debt structures, secured against commercial or high value residential property.
His career highlight to date involved advising a West End investment bank on a multi-tranche, multi-million pound, portfolio refinance of seven high value investment assets located in central London. The matter had a tight deadline and was particularly complex (owing in part to an offshore corporate holding structure) but Aziz put his legal knowledge and commercial awareness to the test to help the client achieve their desired outcomes whilst minimising risk exposure.
A passionate social activist, Aziz has been awarded for his social action work by the Faith and Belief Forum at the Houses of Parliament, appeared on the BBC’s Question Time talking about racial and class issues, and has founded a charity aimed at alleviating the suffering of the homeless in Bristol.
Accolades
- Aspiring Solicitors mentor
- Founder of Coldbusters social action group
- 2016 winner of The Faith & Belief Forum's Best Mentor award
- Member of the Association of Muslim Lawyers
- Member of the Arab Bankers Association
