Ikbal Solicitors Wins SME 2020 Award’

Excellence Award in Emerging Legal Services – Greater Manchester

At a time when cuts by the government meant that people could no longer afford to pay their legal fees in deeply personal cases, one man had a vision of what it could mean to help the people suffering the most. The result is Ikbal Solicitors, a boutique law firm that helps the public have access to legal assistance and resources at a time when government cuts result in delays that leave cases with no conclusions. Having earned success in this years’ Legal Awards with SME News, we take a closer look at the firm.

Founded just last year, Ikbal Solicitors is a new face on the block within the legal sector in the United Kingdom, but one of the most exciting and client-centric. The idea began with Cameron Iqbal, who is the Managing Director of the firm, and evolved into the law firm being founded in 2019 in a famous local cake shop in Oldham. Despite the unorthodox setting, nothing about what Cameron wanted to do was unorthodox. His vision was, and remains to this day, to help the public with their legal needs at a time when the government was closing courts and decreasing legal aid. Cameron believed that those governmental cuts would eventually lead to individuals having no access to courts in order to raise their concerns, resulting in more delays and a lack of clarity surrounding any pending cases or concerns. It might also mean that those same individuals would be forced to give up their right to challenge a resolved matter, as expensive legal fees would prevent most people from being able to access the court. It was this that Cameron sought to change, and change it he has.
