The Foundations
Professional Background & Academic Profile
Qais holds an LLB (Hons) from the University of Manchester (2023) — a Russell Group law school known for the rigour of its legal education — and is progressing towards solicitor qualification in England and Wales through the SQE. Originally from Jordan and bilingual in Arabic and English, he brings a culturally aware perspective that many of the firm's international clients rely on from the first conversation.
In Practice
Immigration Law Experience
His casework spans First-tier and Upper Tribunal appeal preparation — bundle assembly, witness statements and legal submissions — together with protection claims built on careful evidential analysis: asylum narratives, country-of-origin evidence and Article 8 private and family life arguments under the ECHR.
Alongside protection work, Qais prepares in-country leave to remain applications, settlement applications demonstrating eligibility and continuous residence under the Immigration Rules, and EUSS applications for European nationals and their families.
How He Works
Client Care & Professional Approach
Qais builds strong, trusted client relationships by listening carefully, explaining the legal process in plain language, and giving practical guidance at every stage — the same meticulous preparation and transparent communication across every case type.
Away from the desk he plays padel, follows Manchester United, and is a WRC rally enthusiast.
