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.
