Hira Hassan Ray
Salford
Summary
Registered Foreign Lawyer with the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), holding an LL.M. in International Human Rights Law and International Criminal Law from Bangor University. I qualified and practised as an Advocate in Pakistan before relocating to the UK, where I have gained practical work experience in immigration and family law.
Recent roles as a Paralegal and Legal Assistant have provided me with valuable exposure to UK legal practice, including immigration case preparation, legal research, document management and client communication. While I am still at the beginning of my legal career within the UK legal system, I am keen to continue developing my knowledge and practical skills in immigration law.
