Biography
Ravi’s practice focuses on high stakes commercial and group litigation, acting on behalf of the UK’s largest financial services institutions, including asset managers, hedge funds and pension funds.
The cases in which he is involved often have an ESG element, including the shareholder action against Glencore plc which he designed and brought most recently in the High Court. His considerable experience includes creating joint defence and novel litigation cooperation agreements for peer institutions in some of the UK’s largest multi party actions, including the RBS Rights Issue litigation. As well as advising on the merits and conduct of securities class actions and regulatory enforcement, Ravi advises on governance policies and procedures relating to bondholder litigation and securities class actions and related fiduciary duties.
Ravi also has a market leading practice advising clients on the design and implementation of private-sector compensation schemes (also called redress schemes), which he has led on in the UK in recent years, arising from alleged mass torts (including the Construction Workers Compensation Scheme, the Manchester City Survivors’ Scheme, Windrush, and the first ICO approved data compensation scheme in the UK).
For two years, Ravi was seconded to one of the UK's largest FTSE 100 asset managers and insurers as its global head of disputes, giving him insight into the challenges of bringing and defending proceedings as in-house counsel.
He has experience across a wide range of jurisdictions, including the UK, UAE, US, Caribbean, India and North Africa.
Ravi champions diversity in the workplace and is regularly invited to speak at industry events. Ravi was the Chair of the Board of London’s largest mental health charity. He also interned at the Runnymede Trust, the UK’s leading race equality think tank. He is presently, Chair of the children’s charity, Barnardo’s, inaugural BAME engagement committee.
Ravi has been awarded numerous scholarships by The Honourable Society of Lincoln's Inn and has taught on the BCL/MJur at the University of Oxford, where he also convened the Law Faculty’s Procedural Justice and Evidence Discussion Group, including undertaking in-depth research of comparative class action methodologies and reform.
