With the experience of over 900 hearings, Zubair has significant in court experience. His approach is highly professional, yet compassionate and conscientious.

Children Act and domestic abuse

Zubair regularly acts for clients in complex private law fact-finding hearings, involving allegations of parental alienation and serious physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. He takes a particular interest in cases which present complex facts, and where parental alienation is alleged.

Financial remedies and divorce

Zubair accepts instructions to appear at all stages of financial remedy proceedings in modest value cases, including FDAs, FDRs and final hearings. He is also experienced in cases involving applications for maintenance pending suite (MPS), and legal services payment orders (LSPO).

He accepts instructions to draft opinions and documents relating to all areas of family finance.

My approach

Zubair escalates the odds of getting a favourable verdict by spending ample time with his clients, allowing him to thoroughly and diligently understand and advance the positions of his clients.

He offers a free 10 minute initial consultation, during which he seeks to understand your case and offer a quote for his services. 

Once instructed, Zubair approaches family law cases in two stages:
1) He first spends the necessary time to meticulously analyse the case papers,
2) Thereafter, he escalates the odds by spending ample of time with the client to understand their position, and advise them on it, if necessary.

About me

What my clients say

  • “(…) He explained the issues succinctly and clearly and immediately identified the important point upon which the appeal was eventually allowed. His client had actually already been deported to Holland and had come back for the appeal. His client was immediately detained when he arrived back in the UK, so there were those added complications. He was extremely well prepared and made everyone feel at ease. (…)”  (Judge)

  • “I recently hired Mr Zubair Mughal to act as our Barrister to represent my wife in an ongoing court case relating to child care arrangements for my 9 year old step daughter. From the offset Mr Mughal was extremely professional and helpful throughout, we were particularly impressed with his skills when cross examining the evidence of the applicant. Mr Zubair was highly respected by the Judge on the day of the hearing, the judge considered his advice and guidance very carefully this ultimately secured us a strong victory. In my opinion, Mr Mughal best skill was that he was able to read between the lines and find the truth of the matter on his own accord and then portray this truth to the court in a calm yet very effective manner. Thanks to the efforts of Mr Mughal, my wife can sleep at night, knowing the truth has been listened to and accepted by the judge.
