About Me
MD Tanvir Shahriar — Bar course graduate, student member of Lincoln’s Inn, and caseworker in London.
Background
I’m a Bar course graduate with an LLM Bar Training Course (BTC) from Nottingham Law School and an LLB (Hons) from Nottingham Trent University, registered as a student member of Lincoln’s Inn and working toward Call to the Bar. I’m currently a caseworker at MK Adams Solicitors in London, managing a multi-party caseload under the Civil Procedure Rules and conducting litigation research on live matters.
This site is my personal professional profile and a place to write about UK legal developments — immigration, civil litigation, employment law, and how the legal profession itself is regulated — as I build toward a career in advocacy. I’m not a solicitor or a practising barrister; nothing on this site is legal advice.
