Shahid Aslam is an award winning solicitor of the Senior Courts of England & Wales. He qualified as a solicitor in 1993 after completing his training at Radcliffes (now Weightmans LLP), which firm currently boasting a turnover of over £120 million, with 225 partners and a total headcount of over 1,400 people across nine offices.

For several years, Shahid worked as a solicitor in the heart of the West End of London. However, frustrated by what he perceived as a city culture often prioritising profits over clients, in 1996 he established his own practice Aslam & Co Solicitors, with the motto "clients come first."

Following a period working internationally in Dubai and Pakistan, Shahid returned to the UK and worked at the highest level as an IAA ( previously OISC) regulated immigration lawyer. Most recently, he was employed as Group Legal Director for TWI Ltd, one of the UK’s foremost independent research and technology organisations, with a total headcount of over 800 people across multiple locations in the UK and overseas. In 2025, Shahid returned to his roots and his passion by establishing Aslam Law.

Although Shahid specialises in Immigration & Human Rights law, he has broad experience including family law, criminal law, employment law, company and commercial law, civil litigation, landlord and tenant, conveyancing, GDPR, Governance, Risk & Compliance and dispute resolution.

Shahid has a passion for community and charity work. He has served as a Justice of the Peace (Magistrate) in Family and Adult Criminal Courts as well as a school Governor, a Charity trustee and as a local councillor. Shahid speaks fluent English, Urdu and Punjabi.
