Mo Afzal

The Principal of the firm, Mo Afzal, trained as a solicitor with Pinsent & Co, now Pinsent Masons. On qualification he specialised in property and commercial litigation for institutional clients at Pinsents. In August 1994, he joined Beachcroft Wansbroughs, now the national law firm Beachcroft LLP.

There he handled all aspects of professional negligence, acting primarily for solicitors, surveyors and their insurers. He then made the decision to establish his own law firm, dealing with Commercial Disputes and Litigation with the aim of providing a specialist service for commercial clients. Some of the advantages that such a firm can provide are better personal service and lower costs. The firm continues to deal with professional negligence claims against professionals, especially solicitors’ negligence, and acts for a number of law firms and solicitors on negligence, partnership and disciplinary matters.

Mo was also visiting Lecturer in Law at the University of Aston in Birmingham from 2003 until 2010. He is on the Negligence Panel for the Law Society’s Legal Complaints Service, which investigates complaints against solicitors, and sits on the Discipline & Appeals Committee for the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

Mo is a member of the Association of Disciplinary and Regulatory lawyers (ADRL) and the Professional Negligence Lawyers Association. He is also on the disciplinary panel for the Solicitors Regulation Authority and brings claims before the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal and is also a qualified Solicitor Advocate.
