About Ahmed
Ahmed has an established legal practice with a wealth of experience in several areas of law. He practised both as a legal executive and a solicitor for over 18 years before becoming a barrister in 2008, fulfilling his long-term ambition as a higher Court advocate.
Ahmed is an accredited mediator (civil and commercial). He is authorised to undertake direct access work and to conduct litigation, where he is instructed directly by a member of the public rather than a solicitor. He is very considerate and often accepts instructions on reduced fees from those of moderate means, as he is passionate about facilitating access to justice.

This may include advising on the prospects of litigation, advising on the value of a claim, representation at hearings or trial, and reviewing legal issues or evidence.
Recipients of your data
Depending on the nature of your case, data may be shared with courts and tribunals, your solicitors or agents, witnesses, experts, other legal representatives, ombudsmen or regulators, education and examining bodies, and current, past or prospective employers.
Special categories of data
Some matters require processing special category personal data, including information about health, ethnicity, religion, trade union membership, political beliefs, sexual orientation, or criminal allegations and convictions. Such data will only be processed where necessary to represent you or advise on your claim.
