Lameesa’s primary practice is employment and discrimination law (including discrimination in goods and services). She is particularly sought after for her excellent client care and strategic advice. Recent cases include:

• Successfully settled multiple cases via Judicial Mediation (acting for both claimants and respondents). Lameesa has been noted for her diligent preparation and thorough analysis of strengths and weaknesses in position.
• Advising a teacher on the merits of a third-party harassment claim, as well as race and sex discrimination.
• Halton v Barnet Football Club Ltd and Mr A Kleanthous. Lameesa represented the claimant in a 6-day trial relating to constructive unfair dismissal following maternity leave. Claims of pregnancy/maternity discrimination, sex discrimination, constructive unfair dismissal, wrongful dismissal, whistleblowing, and victimisation were upheld.
• Being instructed with Paras Gorasia to represent a claimant in a multi-day trial for claims of disability discrimination, failure to make reasonable adjustments, and whistleblowing detriment against a University.

• Advising a senior NHS consultant on prospects of a whistleblowing and race discrimination claim, leading to a favourable settlement for the claimant.
