Parv Sains

There are very few occasions when a Brilliant Mind has such a major impact on you personally resulting in a friendship that transcends any business relationship

Parv and Sharan have professions that are making a real difference to people’s lives. We can’t use them that often for Brilliant Minds related events because they are out there as working practitioners at the sharp end.

Parv was born in a village in the Punjab and the journey that Parv has trodden demonstrates that anything is possible. It was the skills that Parv has acquired throughout his professional training that I needed personally. I will come on to why later.

Sharan is a Barrister and was called to the Bar in 1999. Having attended a local comprehensive school in Hounslow, West London, she studied law as an undergraduate at Westminster University.

She speaks fluent Punjabi and represent clients from a wide range of backgrounds.
