Mr. Islam is an expert in family law, handling all aspects of the field with a deep understanding of both procedural and substantive laws. He represents clients, whether applicants or respondents, in child arrangement cases, prohibited steps orders, non-molestation orders, and financial remedy proceedings.

During a fact-finding hearing, Mr. Islam prides himself on conducting a robust cross-examination. He aims to undermine the credibility of false allegations and uncover the truth. His upbringing overseas has given him a unique advantage, allowing him to easily understand the cultural backgrounds of the parties involved in these proceedings. His closing submissions in such hearings are always compelling, grounded in leading case law to support his arguments.

When it comes to financial remedy hearings, Mr. Islam guides his clients through every step, from the first appointment to the final hearing. His focus is always on securing the best possible outcome for his clients, ensuring their expectations are met.

Of course, in both child arrangement and financial remedy proceedings, Mr. Islam strives to reach a settlement whenever possible. He prioritises amicable, friendly discussions before the hearing, aiming to minimise legal costs for all parties involved.

He has been representing clients at the immigration tribunals (first and upper tiers) since 2007 on behalf of many solicitors firms. His advocacy is robust, and he presents his skeleton argument in every hearing in advance and got numerous appeals allowed on the spot as a result.

He takes instructions to submit all types of applications (leave to remain/enter/ILR etc.) to the Home Office and the Entry Clearance Officers. He presents the covering letter persuasively by citing leading case laws, and as a result, applications get successful at first instance. He brought clients remedies on complex immigration, asylum, human rights and nationality matters by giving presentations.

Changes very often come in immigration law. So, keeping up to date is the key to the immigration practice. In 2015/2016, thousands of students living lawfully and hoping to be settled on ten years lawful residents grounds were about to be in breach of 3c leave by the introduction of the Immigration Act 2014, removing in-country appeal rights from the points-based migrants. Mr Islam’s eagle-eyed research saved such students. Mr Islam undertook extensive research and found immigration rules (SET-O applications route) which some other practitioners followed later.
