BDB Pitmans’ newest partner keeps tradition alive
Mustafa Latif-Aramesh Partner & Parliamentary Agent
Speaking exclusively to The Lawyer magazine, partner and parliamentary agent Mustafa Latif-Aramesh highlights the unique qualities that enable BDB Pitmans to retain ‘dominance’ of the infrastructure space.
The natural cohesion between the firm’s public law and infrastructure planning teams, along with the highest number of specially qualified parliamentary agents in the UK, have put the firm at the forefront of some of the largest infrastructure projects in the country including the Lower Thames Crossing and the Luton Airport expansion.
Mustafa Latif-Aramesh comments:
‘It’s not common for a planning or real estate lawyer to also have a hand in parliamentary work, whereas our structure really incentivises our people to aspire towards becoming a parliamentary agent.’
Parliamentary agents are solicitors licenced by Parliament to draft, promote, and oppose private bills. Today, just 16 parliamentary agents remain and BDB Pitmans houses the highest number of these specialised lawyers, including Nick Brown, Nicholas Evans, Ian McCulloch, and David Mundy.
