Sadat is a leading practitioner specialising in advice, representation and advocacy in all areas of immigration, asylum, nationality, deportation, detention, EU free movement and human rights law. He is one of the general editors of the 10th edition of Macdonald's Immigration Law and Practice, the leading text in the field of immigration law. The Chambers UK Bar Guide 2023 ranks Sadat in Band 1 of Immigration barristers, and says that he “Routinely handles politically sensitive cases on behalf of high-profile individuals within the political, business and sporting worlds. He is particularly noted for his deep knowledge of human rights and refugee law, regularly advising clients from Eastern European countries. He is adept at handling cases concerning deportation, extradition and international protection.” “Highly intelligent and excellent at instilling confidence in clients. His technical ability in relation to human rights and PBS challenges is second to none.” “It is always a joy to work with him. He really cares. He’s an excellent communicator and a great strategist.”The Legal 500 2023 says: “Superb advocacy. Liked and respected by judges and clients. Does not leave a stone unturned.”Sadat’s practice particularly focuses on advice and representation in politically sensitive cases involving high profile and senior figures from the worlds of politics, business and sport. The outcomes in these cases regularly impact upon the UK’s relations with other countries. Confidentiality prevents Sadat from identifying these individuals. In these cases Sadat provides initial strategic advice, he assists with the preparation of legally and evidentially complex applications (whether for asylum/human rights protection or for an immigration status) and provides representation before the immigration tribunals, the higher courts and the European Court of Human Rights. Within the context of these cases, he has a specific interest in the interplay between extradition and asylum proceedings, with many of his clients simultaneously facing extradition and seeking asylum. Sadat has vast experience in helping clients to find innovative legal solutions to the most complex immigration situations. He has a deep understanding of the interaction of domestic immigration law (statute, Rules, guidance, case law), international legal instruments (UNCRC, EU law etc.), human rights law (domestic, ECHR and international) and political and policy considerations.
