Tayab is an internationally recognised and highly respected solicitor whose practice encompasses domestic and international law.

A leading lawyer in the area of criminal defence, he has established a solid reputation for defending in the most serious and complex of cases, many of which have a multi-jurisdictional aspect or raise complex human rights issues.

Through his cutting edge work Tayab has made a significant impact upon the UK government’s policy on the use of torture. This includes his ongoing representation of Salahuddin Amin and Rangzieb Ahmed; the two men accuse the British authorities of being complicit in their torture whilst they were detained in Pakistan.

Recently, he has been instructed in numerous public law cases which directly seek to hold the State accountable for decisions that inadvertently or purposefully erode civil liberties.

Tayab's expertise has resulted in him being consulted by Members of Parliament whom he has advised on legal and political issues in the United Kingdom and abroad.

He maintains excellent links to a number of press and media organisations. He has an acute understanding of the important roll the media can play in any legal strategy. As such, he is often retained in high profile cases involving sensitive political issues. He is regularly the solicitor of choice for individuals and groups throughout the world when they are forced to protect their reputations and fundamental rights.

His tenacity, unflinching commitment to his clients and outstanding work has resulted in him consistently being ranked as a leading lawyer by the "Chambers UK" legal directory.
