Adam Hussain

Meet Your Specialist Education Lawyer

Adam Hussain has successfully handled education disputes involving leading institutions. His wider casework includes matters involving UCL, London South Bank University, Edge Hill University, the University of Central Lancashire and City, University of London.
 
His experience spans allegations of plagiarism and unauthorised AI use, academic appeals, suspension and expulsion, disputed placements and fitness-to-practise investigations. These are cases in which a carefully prepared response can be critical to a student’s degree, professional reputation and future career. His education work also extends to school exclusions and special educational needs placement concerns, helping families challenge decisions affecting their children’s access to appropriate education.
 
Adam’s approach is built on close examination of the institution’s own evidence and procedures. He scrutinises assessment instructions, authorship records, supervisor reports and panel reasoning to identify what is unsupported, inconsistent or procedurally unfair. He then develops focused representations and appeals, distinguishing grounds for challenging an allegation from evidence relevant to mitigation or the severity of a sanction. Clients receive a clear explanation of where their case is strongest and what is needed to support it.
 
An LL.M. graduate of King’s College London, Adam has undertaken Barriser training at The University of Law and is pursuing PhD research in Legal Science at Royal Holloway, University of London. His academic background complements practical experience in public law, professional regulation, human rights and institutional decision-making.
 
As Director of Aldwych Legal, Adam brings this combination of academic understanding and contested casework to the firm’s education practice.

Race Discrimination FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Race discrimination may involve less favourable treatment, harassment or victimisation because of colour, nationality, ethnic origins or national origins. It can arise in admissions, exclusions, discipline, assessment, teaching or student support. Education race discrimination may also be indirect, where a neutral policy disadvantages a particular racial group.
Yes. A policy applying to everyone may still amount to indirect discrimination if it particularly disadvantages people from a racial group, and the organisation cannot show that it is proportionate and objectively justified. Examples might include language, uniform, admissions or disciplinary requirements, depending on their practical impact.
Useful evidence can include emails, messages, decision letters, policies, meeting notes and records of incidents. Comparisons with how other pupils or students were treated may be important. A dated chronology, witness details and evidence of the impact on education or wellbeing can help establish the complaint.
An internal complaint is often sensible because it may resolve the issue, create a formal record and provide relevant information. However, it is not always compulsory, and internal procedures do not necessarily pause legal deadlines. University cases may also involve the Office of the Independent Adjudicator after internal processes.
Deadlines depend on the setting and the person affected. Education discrimination claims may have a six-month-minus-one-day limit, while employment claims usually have a shorter tribunal deadline. Internal complaints do not automatically extend these periods, so prompt advice is important before taking action.
Parents can usually raise concerns and communicate with the school or institution, but the legal claimant may be the child. The correct approach depends on the child’s age, understanding and the circumstances. Advice can clarify authority, evidence, potential remedies and whether a parent has a separate claim.
Depending on the circumstances, outcomes may include an apology, corrected decision, policy changes, compensation for injury to feelings or a formal declaration. A negotiated resolution may be preferable to litigation. The available remedy depends on the organisation involved, the evidence and whether proceedings are brought in court or another forum.
Early advice is valuable where an exclusion, admission decision, disciplinary sanction or repeated conduct may involve discrimination. Although Aldwych Legal is not a solicitor practice, our legal team includes experienced lawyers and barristers who can advise on evidence, procedure, deadlines and the appropriate route forward.

Should a website visitor seek to ascertain the nature of our establishment, Aldwych Legal, it becomes essential for us to clarify the intricacies of our professional classification. Aldwych Legal is a legal consultancy, not a traditional solicitors’ firm. As an international legal consultancy and legal support organisation, we position ourselves distinctly apart from the conventional categorisation of a regulated solicitors’ practice. It is of paramount importance to transparently disclose that Aldwych Legal’s operational framework and support services remain independent of regulatory supervision by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and the Bar Standards Board (BSB). Our multidisciplinary team consists of legally trained professionals who operate within the framework of unreserved legal activities permitted under the Legal Services Act 2007. Where a matter requires a reserved legal activity, we collaborate with, and where appropriate introduce clients to, carefully selected external solicitors and barristers from our professional network. These regulated practitioners operate under their own authorisation and regulatory obligations. Aldwych Legal continues to deliver high-calibre legal support, strategic advisory work, and comprehensive case preparation with the same diligence and rigour expected of any premier legal service provider, while maintaining full transparency regarding our regulatory status.
