Areas of Practice
Islam's main areas of practice are: Arbitration, breach of contract, professional negligence, partnership disputes, Landlord and Tenant, Housing, Charity and trust / equity.
To summarise, Cassian Chambers offers legal services in Chancery matters and common law matters focussing on Landlord and Tenant matters (Residential and Commercial), Contract and Negligence.
Chambers specialises in Landlord and Tenant Law. Islam advises and represents clients in County Courts, Land Tribunals, and the High Court. This could range from simple proceedings for possession of land in County Courts to highly contentious leaseholder disputes at FTT Property Chamber.

Cassian Chambers provides legal services on a Direct Access basis. This means, consumers can contact Chambers directly without the need to instruct a Solicitor and often, this can be a more cost-effective solution to services provided. Chambers understands and appreciates that instructing a Barrister for the conduct of legal services could be daunting, especially for lay clients. With that being the case, The Bar Standards Board has compiled a Guidance for lay clients which seeks to help members of the public to understand how the Public Access scheme works, and also to explain how they can use it to instruct barristers directly.

Chambers and The Barristers' Register
Chambers offers a transparent service of the conduct of our Barrister. Prospective clients and indeed others can find further information by consulting the Barristers' Register. This Register shows – (a) The Practising Certificate of our Barrister, and (b) Whether our Barrister has any disciplinary findings (which are published on the Barristers' Register in accordance with The Bar Standards Board's policies and procedures).

Timescale of Concluding Matters
Whilst Cassian Chambers will ensure that every client is provided with a reasonable timescale by when to expect legal services to be completed by, this is very much dependent on the individual circumstances of a task(s). Factors that define such timescales may be as follows (please note, this is not an exhaustive list):
Limitations on Service
Chambers is not authorised to provide any service requiring conducting litigation work. As such, public access clients will therefore need to issue proceedings, file documents at Court, and serve documentation on the other party or parties.
