Solicitor at Duncan Lewis Solicitors Ltd
Toufique Hossain
Solicitor - Director & Solicitor
SRA ID: 322400
I am a Director of Public Law at Duncan Lewis Solicitors with over 20 years of experience. My focus is dominated by leading strategic litigation representing individual claimants and organisations who seek to challenge executive decisions, policies and practices. With great experience in high-profile litigation, I continue to build a team passionate about human rights, developing wider judicial review practices, investigating novel points of law and fighting injustices on behalf of those affected by unlawful government practices. My work has taken me to represent clients at every level, as well as in public inquiries. My team and I have achieved many notable successes, most recently as the lead solicitor in the Supreme Court in relation to the government’s Rwanda policy. I am ranked as a leading individual in the Legal 500 and Chamber and Partners directories. In the Legal 500, I am the only solicitor ranked as leading in all of these three areas (Immigration: Human Rights, Administrative and Public law, Civil Liberties and Human Rights). Throughout my life and career, my driving motivation has been to advocate for the disenfranchised. Whilst I remain involved in high-profile litigation, my more recent focus has been on building up a team of talented people with a clear passion for human rights, fused with rigour. I encourage critical thinking and the investigation of novel points of law, fighting injustice wherever we find it. The team has grown from six people in 2013 when I became a director, to more than fifty solicitors, trainees and caseworkers today. I am accredited as a Supervisor and Level 3 Senior Caseworker under the Law Society’s Immigration and Asylum Accreditation Scheme.

Review for Raj Vardhan Choubey – Duncan Lewis Solicitors
I had the privilege of referring a close friend of mine to Duncan Lewis Solicitors, and I cannot express enough how much gratitude we feel toward Raj Vardhan Choubey, the solicitor who handled his case. The journey was incredibly challenging, given the circumstances, but Raj’s dedication, professionalism, and compassion made a huge difference.
My friend, who has been through immense physical and emotional suffering, was facing a fast-approaching Home Office interview, with only days to prepare and no statement to present. Despite the pressure and urgency, Raj worked tirelessly, offering to apply for an extension to account for my friend’s severe health issues. However, my friend chose to proceed without the extension, and Raj went above and beyond to ensure everything was in place in time. He was working late into the night—one email from him was at 4 AM—to get the necessary documentation ready. It was clear that he was fully committed to achieving the best possible outcome, even under the most difficult of circumstances.
The speed and efficiency with which Raj handled everything were exceptional. All documents were processed swiftly, and the quality of communication was outstanding. Raj maintained constant contact, whether through emails or phone calls, keeping both of us informed at every stage. When the Home Office interview took place, Raj made sure to check in with us afterwards to ensure everything went smoothly and to offer continued support.
What also stood out was the involvement of Toufique Hossain, Raj’s supervisor and Director at Duncan Lewis. From the outset, Toufique personally contacted me to discuss the situation and showed genuine compassion for what my friend had experienced. He worked hard to ensure my friend was allocated to a solicitor quickly, and stayed involved throughout, checking in and offering support. He too sent his congratulations when the Humanitarian Protection was granted, and his kindness and care were deeply felt.
On the day we received the positive result—Humanitarian Protection—Raj was genuinely overjoyed for my friend. He promptly scheduled a video call to walk us through the Home Office documentation, explaining everything clearly and with such kindness and patience. He also took care of all necessary follow-up actions, including correcting a discrepancy with the person’s recorded date of birth with the Home Office.
Throughout the process, Raj was an absolute professional. He was always courteous, well-prepared, and extremely knowledgeable, making it clear that he had full control of the case. Despite the challenges we faced, including language barriers and technical difficulties, Raj remained calm, patient, and understanding, providing the highest standard of service at all times.
It was evident from the start that Raj genuinely cared about my friend’s situation. His professionalism was paired with a level of empathy and attention to detail that made all the difference. The support of both Raj and his supervisor, Toufique Hossain, was invaluable, and I could not have asked for a better team to handle this case.
Thanks to Raj’s hard work, my friend now has a chance to rebuild his life in safety, free from the fear of the unknown. The result of this case is truly life-changing, and it is a privilege to have been part of this process with such a dedicated, skilled, and compassionate solicitor by our side.
I wholeheartedly recommend Raj Vardhan Choubey and Duncan Lewis Solicitors to anyone in need of expert legal advice and representation. You can trust that you are in the hands of professionals who will treat your case with the utmost care and commitment.
