Joe joined Luqmani Thompson & Partners in 2017 and qualified as a solicitor in November 2019. He is currently the deputy supervisor in our public law department.

He enjoys finding solutions to the complex and challenging problems which clients can face.

Joe graduated from the University of Cambridge with a degree in Law in 2013. The following year, he graduated with a first class LL.M from the same institution, being awarded the George Long Prize for Jurisprudence.  While at university, Joe contributed towards the work of the Cambridge Pro Bono Project, helping to create a research memorandum submitted to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.

Joe has conduct of his own caseload, while also assisting other members of the LTP team. Joe is accredited to Level 2 of the Law Society’s Immigration and Asylum law scheme and, to his eternal shame, is an avid Tottenham Hotspur fan.
