Sundeep Kang
Associate
Sundeep Kang is a highly organised and resilient individual, whose endeavours ensure the best for her clients. She is a team player and self-motivated person who has dedication and drive to succeed.
From her early days in law, Sundeep has always been involved and had a keen interest in litigation. Her first role was as a paralegal with a well-known financial institution, issuing large volume of claims for debt recovery and then enforcement. She then worked in-house for a large construction consultancy company, dealing with contractual disputes, general advice and all forms of alternative dispute resolution.
In 2011, Sundeep moved to private practice, where she worked for a large international firm with a market-leading presence in the insurance sector. Here, she extended her existing knowledge and specialised in insurance litigation, acting for property, public and products liability insurers. The role required more technical experience, during which she built strong relationships with clients, experts and third parties.
Sundeep has since managed complex cases and has had regular involvement in both the County Court and the Technology and Construction Division of the High Court. She has considerable experience in handling substantial cases (covering a range of legal disciplines, including negligence, contract, nuisance, product liability and strict liability) arising from fires, floods and construction disputes.
