Overview

Kinza enjoys a successful practice across the full range of property law, including those matters which cross over into the traditional chancery areas such as Trust of Land.

Regularly acting for private individuals, companies, institutional investors and local authorities, Kinza brings a well-rounded skill set to her practice, ensuring thorough and effective representation for her clients.

Kinza is a skilled advocate and an accredited mediator, who is known for her robust and tenacious advocacy and empathetic approach with clients.

In the Landlord and Tenant sphere, Kinza is regularly instructed on matters such as possession actions, forfeiture, injunctions and disrepair.

In the more traditional land and chancery areas, Kinza accepts instructions in trespass, easements, nuisance, boundary issues, TOLATA and cohabitation disputes.

Whilst Kinza’s practice is predominantly property, she also enjoys a discrete practice in commercial law. Often instructed in contract disputes, specifically those involving equine matters (pursuant to the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and Sales of Good Act 1979), partnerships and misrepresentation. She appears in the High Court (Rolls Building) to present winding-up petitions and deals with bankruptcy proceedings.

Kinza also has experience in matrimonial finance. Her civil practice allows her to provide holistic advice to clients regarding the sale of property or the distribution of company assets. Kinza often adopts a pragmatic approach, and her personable manner helps negotiate settlements in favour of her clients.

Beyond practice, Kinza is committed to advancing equality and diversity at the Bar. She is a mentor on the Future Bar Programme and often a panellist at events designed to encourage inclusivity within the profession.

  • Recommendations

    Solicitor for Lincoln Council, 2024
    “I would like to reiterate how impressed our instructing officers were with Ms Wahid’s representation on behalf of the council in previous committal proceedings relating to the injunction order. Her professionalism, timely advice, and robust dealing with the legal advisor for the Defendant was most appreciated, especially given the last-minute submissions regarding capacity by the Defendant.”

    Solicitor for Broxtowe Borough Council, 2024
    “Kinza assisted BBC in achieving a great result at the recent homeless appeal. She faced some tough questions from the opposing barrister and the judge, but she remained calm, collected, and eloquently put the Council’s position forward. We look forward to working with Kinza again in the future.”

    Advocate Client, 2024
    “Kinza kindly volunteered to defend me at a hearing less than 24 hours before it took place. After a full day in court, she spent her evening preparing for my case. Kinza is clearly very passionate about her job and has a heart of gold. She was prompt, well-prepared, and incredibly supportive. She was well known by the Judge and a fellow solicitor there who both spoke very highly of her. Kinza is highly professional, educated, and stayed humble throughout. I can’t recommend her enough!”
