Regulator Interviews and Investigations

Regulatory Investigation Solicitors for Interviews

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.

Recent Regulatory Offences Case Studies

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.
