Duncan Lewis, Main Solicitors, Toufique Hossain recognised as Lawyer of the week in The Times

Toufique Hossain, Director of Immigration and Public Law at Duncan Lewis, is featured as lawyer of the week in The Times.

Toufique discusses his work with five claimants who had suffered torture before entering the UK whom he represented in the recent case against the Home Office’s definition of torture, which was ruled unlawful by the High Court. Toufique notes that the successful ruling was gained through the collaborative efforts of Bhatt Murphy solicitors and charity Medical Justice, Stephanie Harrison, QC, and Chris Butler, alongside the Duncan Lewis Immigration and Public Law teams.

Toufique recalls his best decision in law was to take on a training contract which enabled him to help the marginalised, whilst he states that if he could he would end immigration detention, considering the ‘barbaric and shameful’ nature of the practice.

He states: ‘My chief executive has let me build a team of brilliant young lawyers - it’s a difficult time to be a legal aid lawyer, yet I sit amongst the best of them.’
