Kareesha is an internationally recognised barrister known for her fearless advocacy, global perspective, and deep commitment to justice. With a practice that spans human rights, commercial law, rand regulatory compliance,, she represents individuals, communities, and corporations across multiple jurisdictions — always with integrity and precision.
Of Mauritian and Persian heritage, Kareesha celebrates her cultural roots and brings a rich, intersectional understanding to her work. She is fluent in English, French, and Hindi, allowing her to communicate across borders and cultures with ease — an invaluable strength in both her legal and advocacy work.
Kareesha knew she wanted to be a barrister from the age of seven, a calling that has shaped her life and career. Today, she continues to channel that early ambition into meaningful action, representing the voiceless, challenging injustice, and advising clients on complex international legal matters.
One of her all-time favourite books is Le Petit Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. The line that most inspires her is:
“On ne voit bien qu’avec le cœur. L’essentiel est invisible pour les yeux.”
(One sees clearly only with the heart. What is essential is invisible to the eye.)
This quote reflects Kareesha’s belief that true advocacy goes beyond facts and law — it requires empathy, insight, and a moral compass.
Outside of law, Kareesha is passionate about reformer Pilates, often spending early mornings at the studio to stay centred and energised. She also enjoys hiking in nature, where she finds space for reflection, and has a creative flair for interior design, viewing spaces as powerful expressions of identity and intention.
Whether in the courtroom, the community, or at the crossroads of global legal issues, Kareesha leads with principle, purpose, and heart.
