Razi Mireskandari
Spear’s Review
‘Flying in a Learjet across Africa to a war zone to take instructions from a government minister accused of corruption’ ranks among the more interesting cases for Razi Mireskandari, whose mantra is ‘90 per cent perspiration, 10 per cent inspiration’.
Mireskandari is a former managing partner and current head of dispute resolution at Simons Muirhead & Burton. He is experienced in both general disputes and high-profile court cases, which often have a reputational element to them.
One notable case was that of Andrew Miller, whose claim against Associated Newspapers went to the Supreme Court twice before he won. ‘The final success in the Miller litigation after five-plus years, especially given the profile and attention the case attracted in the sector, was gratifying,’ says Mireskandari.
