Saqib started KhanMather in 2011. It has been running for over 12 years now and is a very successful firm of solicitors with over 20 members of staff covering many areas of law.
When Saqib commenced his legal career, he realised that he wanted to have his own firm, as he felt that he could provide high quality legal services to clients in a very client centric way. Saqib believes that the client is extremely important and must be looked after whilst having their expectations managed. He is very results driven, and in order to obtain results, it is his belief that hard work needs to be applied. He is in the office virtually every day and when he isn’t, he is either seeing clients or at court.
On a day-to-day basis, he looks after the management of the firm together with the other directors. They have regular meetings to discuss any issues that they are encountering and how these can be resolved so that the firm can run smoothly. In addition to these duties, he has a handful of clients that he provides legal assistance to and he provides an element of supervision to all of the staff, especially the trainee solicitors, as he is their Principal.
Saqib’s proudest achievement in his legal career is being appointed as a Deputy District Judge in 2022. He wanted to develop his career and assist with the administration of justice.
Saqib believes that over the years, he has gained a considerable amount of knowledge, but he finds it difficult delegating certain tasks which is something that he feels that he should work on. He loves being part of a well-oiled machine that produces consistently good results, which is a testament to his colleagues’ abilities and hard work. In the future, Saqib would like the firm to grow into offering many other areas of law, so that the firm’s clients have a one-stop shop for their legal needs.
It is worthy of note that Saqib’s first job was working at his local McDonald’s restaurant which taught him a lot about hard work and achieving results. In his spare time, Saqib has recently taken up clay pigeon shooting and has joined a local club.
AN UNKNOWN FACT ABOUT Saqib
He enjoys listening to Latin American House Music, and he has attended many gigs over the past three decades to see his favourite performers live.
Saqib’s primary core belief is that if you want something, you need to put a substantial amount of consistent effort into the task at hand. At the start of his career, he invested a lot of time on a daily basis into reading into his subject area in order to gain knowledge and then applying the same in his work and taking advice from those more experienced than himself.
