Information about the specialist

Practice Areas

Zubier is an expert in administrative law, civil liberties and human rights law. He has litigated in courts at all levels and deals with cutting edge litigation for which he is recognised in Chambers & Partners. He is also recommended in the Legal 500.

Zubier deals with both public and private law cases. His public law cases are varied but mainly arise out of challenges for his core client group of children, young migrants and victims of trafficking. Zubier has led on the firm’s work on children’s rights and trafficking cases for over 6 years and is a recognised leading individual in the legal community for such work. Zubier has a long standing commitment to social justice. He started his practice with housing and social welfare cases and developed expertise in community care matters for vulnerable adults and children.

Zubier has led on developing the firm’s reputation for work for victims of trafficking, encompassing public and private law challenges for such clients. He challenges decisions that fail to recognise clients as victims of trafficking, public authorities’ breach of their duties under Article 4 ECHR and consequent claims. Zubier works with charities and NGOs such as Kalayaan, the AIRE centre, ECPAT UK and Anti-Slavery International. Zubier’s cases for victims of trafficking often have a strategic element to them either challenging policy or developing human rights law for this client group.

Zubier represents EU nationals facing enforcement action by the Home Office, conducting both public law and private law cases for this client group.
