Shazia Shah – Irwin Mitchell

Acting for claimants in complex employment, discrimination and professional discipline disputes is the focus of Irwin Mitchell’s practice. The team is well-equipped to advise across a range of industry sectors, but has particular specialisms in medical and healthcare, and banking and financial services, a key area of focus for Deborah Casale. Shah Qureshi, who ‘goes above and beyond’ for his clients, is at the helm of the practice and has noteworthy expertise in handling whistleblowing and discrimination cases for public bodies and large corporations. ‘First-class partner’ Danielle Parsons is a standout practitioner, as is Shazia Shah, who advises individual employees and senior executives. Tina Din joined the firm in March 2024 from Bindmans LLP.
