Faisel Sadiq

Practice Areas

Faisel Sadiq is a property specialist whose practice has a particular emphasis on five areas: landlord and tenant, trusts and the co-ownership of land, property acquisition and development, regulation of land use (e.g. licensing of houses in multiple occupation), and non-domestic rates. In addition, Faisel has complimentary expertise in commercial, chancery, and planning and local government work, usually where those matters involve interests in property and he is particularly sought out for more unusual cases where property or trusts intersect with other areas of law - e.g. judicial review and charities.

Between 2008 and 2012, he was assistant editor of the Housing Law Reports and contributed to Current Law Statutes commentary on the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 and the Localism Act 2011. He regularly writes articles and gives seminars on property law.

Faisel believes strongly in contributing towards the profession. He was involved with the Bar Council’s ED&I work between 2012 and 2023, being Vice Chair of the Equality, Diversity and Social Mobility Committee and Chair of the Disability Panel between 2019 and 2023. His work on ED&I led to his winning the Chambers and Partners Award 2019 for Outstanding Contribution to Diversity and Inclusion.

Since 2008 he has been an accredited advocacy trainer. He has taught at the International Criminal Court in The Hague and for the Cypriot Bar Association, and he is a member of the Inns of Court College of Advocacy International Committee.
