Portrait of Ramyaa  Veerabathran

Practice Overview

Ramyaa is a commercial chancery barrister with a particular focus on commercial, civil fraud, trusts, probate, company and insolvency disputes. She has appeared as sole counsel in the High Court of England and Wales as well as in the County Court, and regularly assists as junior counsel with cases in the High Court. She also has experience of assisting with offshore trusts litigation at first instance and on appeal. 

Ramyaa joined chambers in July 2023 after successfully completing a period of training and assessment in place of pupillage as she was granted a full exemption by the Bar Standards Board in view of her prior professional experience and qualifications. During her training she was supervised by Dan McCourt Fritz KC, Constance McDonnell KC, Jonathan Adkin KC and John Machell KC. Before coming to the Bar, Ramyaa was a Senior Associate in the litigation team at Herbert Smith Freehills in London where she trained and qualified as a solicitor and, subsequently, solicitor advocate.  Her practice at Herbert Smith Freehills primarily focussed on high-value commercial disputes but also extended to aspects of competition law and public inquiry work.  Ramyaa therefore has significant experience of acting in and advising on complex commercial disputes at all stages of litigation and is adept at turning her hand to a range of practice areas.

Ramyaa also served as the Judicial Assistant to Lord Kitchin at the UK Supreme Court and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council for the  year 2020-21. In this role she assisted with the most complex and high-profile appeals in the UK and across a number of Commonwealth jurisdictions, which raised difficult issues of law in a range of areas including tort, contract, company, trusts, tax and public law.
