Şenay Nihat

Şenay qualified as a barrister as a Major Scholar of Inner Temple, and practised from chambers before joining Gowling WLG. She brings a litigation specialism to the team, having direct experience of litigation at all levels, from mediation up to and including Supreme Court appeals.

Şenay's practice encompasses both advisory and contentious work. Her caseload is varied and covers both commercial and residential property law. She therefore has experience of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954, including lease renewal, rent reviews and dilapidations, insolvency matters, breach of contract/commercial disputes, and the application of the Building Safety Act 2022. She has a particular interest in telecommunications, rights of light, residential work (spanning both leasehold and social tenancies), and acting for public authorities. She regularly writes articles and delivers training on these topics.

Outside of work, Şenay has a keen interest in skipping and Soviet history (not at the same time). She volunteers regularly for the Social Mobility Foundation and is currently writing a graphic novel involving a chicken coop.
