From today's featured article When I was 19, my parents had aspirations for me to go into engineering. However, after failing basic mathematics in a levels mainly because of my lack of interest, I had to turn to something else as you want to ideally pursue a career you’re genuinely interested in. That’s when I took up law as a subject and truly began my academic journey. After competing my LLB in Pakistan, I came to the U.K. for my Bar which was followed by a Master’s degree in Human Rights Law. Whilst still enrolled in my LLM, I was fortunate to receive an opportunity to work for an immigration practice on a part time basis for 6 months. Being an immigrant myself, it was easier for me to relate to the clientele that I came across, particularly in Human Rights issues. Upon graduating with an LLM, the role was offered to me on a full time basis. For the past two and a half years, I have been specialising in all aspects of Immigration law and represent clients from all around the world before the Immigration Tribunals in the U.K. In addition to litigation work, I also undertake instructions in both private and business immigration. I love working on appeals, mainly because you come across individuals who have been struggling for an immigration status for years if not decades and to even have a small part in their success is very satisfying for me as a human being and a legal practitioner.
