Zayn Bhatti

I am a Solicitor in the family department at Duncan Lewis Solicitors, specialising in all aspects of family law, including:

• Divorce;
• Financial Relief;
• Child Arrangement Orders;
• Cases involving different jurisdictions;
• Injunctions;
• Disputes between unmarried couples;
• Pre-nuptial, post-nuptial, living together and separation agreements; and
• Representing parents, grandparents, Guardians and intervenors in Care Proceedings.

I began my legal career working for boutique firms based in the West End of London, with a clientele of high net worth individuals, and so I am adept at dealing with clients from all walks of life.

I have a background in property law, including working in-house for one of the country’s largest property management companies, and so can advise clients on the numerous related issues which may arise out of disputes surrounding former matrimonial property.

I regularly perform my own advocacy at court hearings, from the first hearing to contested trials including cross examination of experts, in order to provide my clients with the reassurance which comes with continuity of representation.

I was formerly Law Society Immigration Level 2 and Supervisory Accredited, and so can utilise my knowledge to assist clients who have immigration/asylum issues. My supervisory accreditation gives clients the peace of mind that their case will be handled to the highest Lexcel standards.
