‘Mr Islam was able to present a very complicated set of facts in a clear and persuasive manner in advocating the claimant’s claim at a recent hearing. This demonstrated his thorough preparation prior to the hearing with the preparation of the appropriate written submissions. A very committed advocate in the cause of his client and I would thoroughly recommend him to you.’

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Partner Private Client Dispute Resolution and Joint Head of Private Client Division of the leading UK and international law firm who arranged for me to observe these contentious probate and Inheritance Act mediations, who is one of the top five mediators in the country in the field of Contentious Probate, Inheritance Act and Trust disputes. It was both an honour and a privilege to have been provided with the benefit of his over 12 years of experience and wisdom as a mediator.
