I started working in the legal profession in 1999 – initially as an outdoor clerk and later became a legal assistant and legal executive at various organisations. In 2006, I joined as a Partner Solicitor at Shaad Solicitors. In 2007, I joined Khans Solicitors as a Partner and remained there until 2015. In 2015, I, along with three other Partners, established Law Lane Solicitors where I am currently appointed as the Managing Director.

In a short span of time, Law Lane has achieved innumerable qualifying accreditations marks for legal practices and meets the highest standards of technical expertise and client service in specific areas of law. For example: Lexcel, Legal 500, Immigration and Asylum quality mark, Conveyancing quality mark.

I have successfully defended in the High Court various institution Tier 4 sponsor licence revocation matters pertaining to the TOEIC English language fiasco. I have also defended individuals who were alleged by the SSHD to have applied deception in successfully completing their TOEIC English language test. To date, I have won over 90% of my cases and brought back a number of individuals to the UK from their country of residence due to their unlawful removal by the SSHD.

I also have a deep knowledge and expertise in Tier 1 (General) refusals under paragraph 322(5) where an applicant’s character and conduct call into question their desirability of remaining in the UK by the SSHD. I have defended and won over 90% of innocent applicant’s cases against the SSHD.

Many of my most notable cases have been presented in High Courts, Crown courts and Supreme Courts.

I represent clients from various ethnic backgrounds such as: Albanian, Pakistani, Indian, Bangladeshi, Turkish, Sudanese, Eritrean, Ethiopian and other.

I have appeared on various television shows since 2006 for discussions on numerous legal topics.

Amin, R (on the application of) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2022] EWCA Civ 439 (31 March 2022):

This case regarded overturning a British citizenship refusal based on character concerns. The Home Office believed that Mr Amin’s association with Mullah Krekar and other members of Ansar al Islam meant that he was not of good character and refused his application to naturalise as a British citizen. This appeal was brought forward to argue that the decision to refuse his application for British citizenship was unlawful as the Home Office had failed to consider new factors.

Raza, R (on the application of)  The Secretary of State for the Home Department [2016] EWCA Civ 36 (28 January 2016):

The issue in this case is whether the appellant was entitled to the benefit of the leeway provided by the case of Patel (revocation of sponsor licence – fairness) India  [2011] UKUT 00211 (IAC)  in relation to students whose Tier 4 (General) sponsor ceases to run the course on which they are enrolled and whether that case was rightly decided.

London St Andrew’s College, R (On the Application Of)  The Secretary of State for the Home Department [2018] EWCA Civ 2496 (08 November 2018):

This was an appeal against an order of McGowan J in London St Andrews College  Secretary of State for the Home Department [2014] EWHC 4328 (Admin) dismissed the Appellant’s claim for judicial review of a decision to revoke its Tier 4 sponsor licence. Permission to appeal was granted by Arden LJ on a single ground, namely whether McGowan J had misconstrued the meaning of the phrase “any of your duties” in paragraph 162(d) of Document 3 of the Tier 4 guidance.

London College of Business Management and Information, R (on the application of) Secretary of State for the Home Department [2015] EWHC 3215 (Admin) (07 July 2015):

Tier 4 sponsor licence revocation decision of the SSHD on the basis of ETS (TOIEC English language test) used by the students to obtain admission in college was quashed by the court in that found to be unlawful by the court.

I also possess a wealth of experience in representing clients for visa Applications under the Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) & Tier 1 (Investor) categories.

Hundreds of clients from all over the world & from various ethnic communities over the years have placed faith in my abilities when it has come to their immigration matters. As well as Immigration, I also deal with the Personal Injury and Family Matters including Divorce, Annulment Cases, Child Custody matters whilst supervising my team in all complicated Family Matters.

I am a self-made person and have always worked hard to achieve my dreams and I feel proud to be a British Pakistani.

My paramount objective is to help communities by advising and guiding them upon the right track in order to resolve their legal issues. I do not consider myself as a typical businessman.

As well as all this, I have proudly represented the South Asian community but have also played an active role in supporting minorities present in the United Kingdom, resolving their legal, social and immigration issues.

I play an active role in addressing social, political, legal issues and current affairs relevant to rights of minorities present in the United Kingdom and South East Asia. I classify myself as a kind-hearted and concerned human being when it comes to issues such as civil rights. I make concerted efforts to share my knowledge, experience and advice with the community by writing articles in various Urdu newspapers, and participating in live TV talk shows and as a result, I have somewhat become an inspiration for the younger generation in Pakistan.

Amongst my various activities, visits to Pakistan and lectures at different Universities are common, where I meet young students to share my academic acumen and legal experiences. I have always encouraged the youth to work hard and live for their dreams.

I am a hardworking and determined professional who has an honest, loyal, sincere and accessible personality. My legal expertise combined with a pragmatic, kind, professional and sincere approach towards my clients has earned me a strong reputation in the field of Immigration and Family Law.

I began my role with the firm, progressing from an intern position to a paralegal role, before being offered my training contract, all whilst also studying for the Legal Practice Course (LPC) at BPP.

This showed my dedication to the field and helped me to acquire the requisite knowledge and foundation before qualifying as a Solicitor of England and Wales in February 2021, under the esteemed and comprehensive training of the Managing Director, Tahir Shahab Khan.

I have been fortunate enough to work with Tahir since 2016 and since then we have dealt with many successful Immigration and Asylum cases together. One of our most recent reported cases together is currently with the Supreme Court and is to do with British Nationality and the Good Character Requirement. Details of which can be found on:

This case was live streamed on YouTube as well:

Clients who have had the pleasure of dealing with me have given positive feedback for my work ethic and dedication and commitment to their file as can be seen below.
