MASS
NDOW-NJIE

Mass is a multi-award-winning Barrister practising at 7BR Chambers and is the Founder and Chairperson of Bridging the Bar, a multi-award-winning charity which aims to support aspiring barristers from statistically underrepresented groups..

 

Mass has been called to the Bar of England & Wales (2019) and the Bar of The Gambia (2024). He is recognised as a leading barrister and specialises in clinical negligence law, inquests & inquiries, sports law, personal injury law and international matters. 

 

Mass' work has been recognised in a number of prominent legal and non-legal spaces. In July 2020, Mass became the first ever Pupil Barrister to be recognised as ‘Barrister of the Week’ by leading legal publication, The Lawyer. In January 2021, he was recognised as Advocate’s ‘Pro-bono Hero of the Month’ and later that year, in November 2021, Mass was presented with two awards in quick succession after he was declared as the winner of the Middle Temple Young Barristers Association (MTYBA) Rule of Law Essay Competition and was commended at the 2021 Chambers and Partners Awards Ceremony. In January 2022, Mass was named as one of the UK’s top 100 lawyers by the prominent legal publication, The Lawyer, in their annual Hot 100 feature. In November 2022, he was declared as the winner of a Future Leader Award at the 2022 Chambers and Partners Awards Ceremony.

​

From an early age, Mass did not believe that a career at the Bar was possible for him, largely because he did not fit the conventional image of a practising barrister. Recognising that his achievements in the law can inspire others, Mass has dedicated himself to opening the doors of opportunity for people from non-traditional backgrounds.

​

Mass has written numerous articles on the topic of diversifying the legal profession. He is also confident orator and has delivered keynote speeches within various academic, corporate and legal spaces. He has spoken to audiences in the UK Supreme Court, the Inns of Court, various universities and other private organisations.
