Ash Ibrahim

Ash’s legal career began clerking in the area of criminal law, spending six months in a high-volume practice, often attending the various South Australian courts. He then moved to Ezra Legal and shortly after was admitted to practice. Since then he has practiced in the dispute resolution sector, assisting the firm’s senior lawyers in the day to day handling of files that cover a broad range of civil and commercial disputes.

In one particularly challenging construction dispute, an adjudication claim was served on a Friday, with boxes of documents delivered to the offices of Ezra Legal making a payment claim in excess of $1 million. Over the next week response submissions were prepared, with multiple legal and commercial specialists engaged to provide commentary on every aspect of the dispute. Ultimately, the claimant was awarded less than our client had offered to pay in the original payment schedule (approximately 7% of what had been claimed). The case was a highly technical, high-pressure situation which required attention to detail and an ability to liaise and negotiate with various client representatives, engineers and architects to ensure a successful outcome was delivered for our client.
