Toufique Hossain

Toufique Hossain is a Director in the Public Law and Immigration departments at Duncan Lewis Solicitors.

Toufique works predominantly under legal aid in order to represent those most in need. His practice is dominated by leading strategic litigation representing individual claimants and organisations who seek to challenge executive decisions, policies and practices.

With great experience in high-profile litigation, Toufique continues to build a team passionate about human rights, developing wider judicial review practices, investigating novel points of law, and fighting injustices on behalf of those affected by unlawful government practices.

Toufique has extensive experience in the Administrative Court, Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court, litigating across a range of areas and regularly conducting high-profile challenges to unlawful policies and practices, including unlawful detention and unlawful removals from the UK.

Toufique and his team have achieved many notable successes, most recently as the lead solicitors in the Supreme Court in relation to the government’s Rwanda policy.

Throughout his life and career, Toufique’s driving motivation has been to advocate for the disenfranchised. Whilst he remains involved in high profile litigation, his more recent focus has been on building a team of talented lawyers with a clear passion for human rights.

In 2024, Toufique was presented with the Outstanding Achievement Award at the Legal Aid Lawyer of the Year Awards, the highest honour that the judges can give, for his invaluable contributions to the legal aid field.

Toufique is an accredited Supervisor and Level 3 Senior Caseworker under the Law Society’s Immigration and Asylum Accreditation Scheme.
