Firm Overview

Rahman Lowe Solicitors is a niche employment and discrimination firm based in Canary Wharf, London. Its lawyers provide high-quality, bespoke employment law advice to senior executives, employees and employers from a wide range of sectors, including financial institutions, global luxury brands and professional service firms.

Founded by employment and discrimination law specialist Jahad Rahman in 2012, Rahman Lowe Solicitors strives to set itself apart from other City and niche employment firms by offering a partner led, tailored and creative approach to resolving employment law disputes, and regulatory investigations.

The Firm is results-orientated and has a strong track-record of success, through both negotiation and litigation in the Employment Tribunal, Employment Appeal Tribunal, High Court and the Court of Appeal. The Firm and its Partners have been consistently top-ranked in legal directories for a number of years.

Recent client wins have included the high profile claims of Professor David Miller v University of Bristol [2024], in which the Tribunal determined that a strongly held belief in anti-Zionism was a philosophical belief that was worthy of respect in a democratic society under the Equality Act 2010, and Allison v Morecambe Bay NHS Trust where a settlement agreement/NDA used in a whistleblowing case involving serious patient safety issues was set aside. The Firm runs difficult cases with a very high success rate.
