“Without a doubt he is the single best story-telling barrister in the country. He is phenomenal.” (Chambers UK).

Gul Nawaz Hussain KC is a commanding presence in the world of high‑stakes criminal defence. His practice spans the most complex, high‑profile, and serious cases, while also extending to heavyweight Family Law fact‑finds, Private Law disputes, and major sporting disciplinary and regulatory matters.

A natural jury advocate, the courtroom is where he excels. Confronting overwhelming odds and fighting relentlessly for his clients is the engine of his practice — he thrives on it.

In one rape trial, the defendant had fled the country and was to be tried in his absence. Gul Nawaz Hussain KC was instructed the night before trial, with no Defence Statement, no instructions, and with solicitors leaving court anticipating an inevitable conviction. The entire defence rested on his cross-examination and closing speech. The jury returned a unanimous not guilty verdict.

He has appeared in many of the most prominent and sensitive trials in the country, involving allegations of murder, terrorism, espionage, major drug conspiracies, gang violence, multi‑million‑pound fraud, electoral offences, and serious or historic sexual allegations. His clients include high‑net‑worth individuals, leading professionals, and well‑known figures from the worlds of sport, entertainment, and music.

His defence work includes the alleged fifth bomber in the 21/7 London attack plot, the alleged mastermind of the “Bank of Terror” fraud said to be funnelling £1 million to ISIS, and a defendant accused of attempting to murder convicted Serb war criminal Radislav Kristic.

His sexual offences practice is equally formidable. He has achieved acquittals in cases involving multiple rape allegations, historic familial abuse, and complex child sexual exploitation allegations.

He is also among the very few barristers to have defended an electoral fraud allegation arising from a General Election. His fraud expertise includes defending in major multi-million‑pound prosecutions involving intricate financial schemes and professional defendants.

Gul Nawaz Hussain KC’s courtroom skill is equally sought after in Family Law. He has acted in demanding, multi‑day fact‑find hearings involving allegations of abuse, rape, coercive control, neglect, and serious violence. His trial instincts and advocacy precision give his clients a decisive advantage.

Shaped by powerful life experiences, he is driven by a deep commitment to speak fearlessly for those he represents.
