Practice Overview

 Hisham has been a member of the Chambers of Sir Hamid Moollan KC since September 2011, where he has built a distinguished practice spanning both criminal and civil litigation. He regularly appears before the courts and tribunals of Mauritius in matters relating to criminal law, civil disputes, family law, and industrial dispute litigations.

He has acted for both prosecution and defence, conducting cases at District Court level and appearing as leading counsel in several high‑profile matters before the Intermediate Court (Financial Crimes Division) and the Assizes.

Industrial Disputes & Employment Law

 Hisham is widely recognised for his expertise in industrial relations and employment law. His appointment as Vice‑Chairperson of the National Tripartite Council, under the chairmanship of the Minister of Labour and Industrial Relations, reflects the trust placed in his knowledge and judgment on matters of national labour policy.

He regularly appears before the Industrial Court, disciplinary committees, and arbitration panels, combining litigation experience with policy insight gained from his national appointments.
