Shah Qureshi

Spear’s Review

Shah Qureshi has served as head of employment at Irwin Mitchell since 2018.

Qureshi’s practice spans all areas of employment law, including discrimination cases, regulatory investigations and disciplinary proceedings. He acts primarily for senior executives and professionals, many of whom work in multinational banks, accountancy firms and major law firms, as well as for doctors and consultants. One successful representation saw him achieve ‘a seven-figure settlement’ in a whistleblowing claim against a major bank.

With many of his clients working in stressful environments and holding positions of extreme responsibility, Qureshi adopts an ‘expert hand, human touch approach’.

‘It’s really important to have the empathy to understand the psychology of what's troubling clients,’ he emphasises, ‘rather than just telling them what the law says.’
