Samir has lived, trained and worked in Kent. Samir trained in 2008, qualified as a solicitor in 2010, and was made a director at a local firm from 2013 until 2021. He joined Manak Solicitors in May 2021.

Samir is a leading fare evasion solicitor. He successfully settled over a thousand cases from May 2021 to May 2024 while working at Manak Solicitors. He has been a fare evasion solicitor for over 12 years and has obtained thousands of client settlements. He enjoys 100% success for every train company save for TFL (which he still enjoys a high success rate). His work has helped countless people avoid criminal records and the stress of a prosecution. Samir appeared on BBC News live for his views on fare evasion as a recognised leading expert, a video of which can be viewed here - https://manak.co/BBCFareEvasion.

As a multi-disciplinary solicitor, Samir can assist in several areas of law. Clients are at ease with Samir’s confident, friendly, proactive, and positive approach. As an experienced Solicitor, Samir is trusted to give well-considered advice. Having practised extensively in many areas of law throughout his career, Samir has found his knowledge to be an advantage when representing clients, as there are often crossovers. This also allows him to provide clients with continuous service. He will always try to resolve matters as quickly and cost-effectively for clients as possible while offering a high service level. Where early settlement is not possible, Samir can robustly put forward his client's position to assist them in achieving their desired outcome, whether within or outside of court proceedings. Samir is instructed on cases within the High Court, Rolls Building, Royal Courts of Justice and County Courts all over the country.

Samir’s Reported Cases

Samir has worked on four reported cases encompassing Criminal, family, and employment law.

His most recent reported case was Wade & Anor v Singh & Ors [2024] EWHC 1203 (Ch) (24 May 2024). Samir’s meticulous preparation in this complex case was praised by the Judge, who stated - Before departing from this judgment, I should like to pay tribute to how both sides' current legal teams dealt with this trial. It was clear that a great deal of urgent work had been done on both sides in the days preceding the hearing to ensure that an effective trial could take place, and the parties' focus remained on that goal as the hearing commenced. The matter was impressively and economically argued by counsel on both sides. Although I recognise that the outcome of this judgment will be a considerable blow to the Defendants, they can be assured that their case could not have been advanced at trial to better effect than it was by Mr Grant KC, Ms Pugh and their current solicitors.

Samir can assist with any queries relating to;

• Litigation including but not limited to contractual disputes, property disputes, landlord and tenant and contested probate
• Employment Law
• Settlement Agreements
• Landlord and Tenant
• Contested Probate
• All Crime, including motoring offences and fare evasion, in which he represents clients in the Magistrates and Crown Courts nationwide.

In his spare time, Samir is a long-suffering Tottenham Hotspur fan who hopes they will win a trophy one day!
