Recommendations:

Chambers UK

  • Gul Nawaz Hussain enjoys an excellent profile as an "impressive, hard-working, excellent junior." Sources note his "ability to develop great novel arguments." He advised on R v Quam Ogumbiyi, a case concerning the attempted murder of war criminal Radislav Krstic.
  • "... is 'an impressive communicator', who focuses his practice exclusively on defence work, recently appearing in a terrorist-related case.  'Even coming into a case at very short notice he handles it very well,' say solicitors.
  • "... whose serious crime practice spans large scale public disorder, murder, robbery and terrorism cases, amongst other matters."
  • "... has brought with him a practice heavy on serious crime..."
  • "... a presence on both the London and the North Eastern circuits, whose 'experience belies his call'.  The future holds much promise for Hussain as he is tipped to be defending in some very high-profile terrorism cases at the Old Bailey next year."
  • "... a 'bright young junior' who 'has the world at his feet' in the view of peers".
  • "... has already been hailed as 'one to watch for the future'."

Legal 500

  • "... a very strong junior with wide experience"
