Khatija is a Banking & Finance Solicitor with experience in US and Magic Circle law firms, as well as with global banks and financial institutions in the UK and Middle East.

Over the past decade, Khatija has built and supported a number of not-for-profit organisations. In 2011, a passion for creativity and the arts led to Khatija co-founding Dubai-based In The Frame, which sought to promote emerging artists from war-torn countries. In 2016, Khatija began working directly in the refugee crisis, travelling regularly to Athens and witnessing how skills gained as a City lawyer could be deployed in a crisis setting. She is a Trustee of Goodwill Caravan, a UK and Greek registered charity that supports refugees in making their way to a better life. In 2017, Khatija was one of the first responding lawyers on the ground following the Grenfell Tower disaster, having close ties with the community. She co-founded Grenfell Legal Support to provide immediate legal assistance to those affected.

Lawyers for Good evolved from Khatija’s own resolve to find ways to be of service through her career. With no organised structures in place that allowed her to easily plug into a cause or charity and offer her skills, she has set out to create a framework herself.

As a spiritual nomad, Khatija believes in the beauty of humanity and travels extensively. Khatija is also a certified leadership and life coach, committed to helping others find meaning and purpose through her coaching service Midlife & Meaning.

Haroon is a final year law student, studying for a BA in Law at Oxford University.

While at Oxford, he co-founded the Oxford Culture Hub, an umbrella organisation created to foster collaboration and mutual support between the university’s minority societies and to strengthen the minority voice on campus.

Haroon was also the first undergraduate President of the Oxford Pakistan Society, organising and chairing the society’s first Access Conference, aimed at increasing representation of students from deprived backgrounds in Oxford and highlighting the importance of outreach programmes.

He was also part of Grenfell Legal Support, an organisation formed in the aftermath of the Grenfell Tower fire to provide legal and pastoral care to those affected by the tragedy. He saw first-hand the importance of using professional skills to help those most in need and the unique potential of the legal industry to provide such assistance.
