Saiful specialises in all areas of family law including but not limited to:

Divorce, Nullity and Judicial Separation; Financial Remedy; Private Law Children; Public Law Children; International Child Abduction; and Forced Marriage, Domestic Abuse, and Injunctions.

Formerly a solicitor advocate, Saiful was called to the Bar in 2005 and thus his experience as a solicitor coupled with his many years of experience at the Bar means that he has a good understanding of the needs of his clients, both professional and lay. Historically for many years Saiful has had a wide-ranging mixed practice of civil and family law which coupled with his latest CIPP/E accreditation by the International Association of Privacy Professionals [IAPP] makes him a well-rounded advocate.

Saiful is a high-achiever and is always determined to be the best. He is a robust, analytical and highly tenacious advocate. He has been described by clients as ‘friendly’ and ‘down to earth’, by opponents as ‘a terrier’ and by judges as ‘thorough’ and ‘extremely skilful.’

Saiful is accredited to receive instructions direct from the public.
