Since joining Ward Hadaway she has made an immediate impact, both in strengthening our immigration team and in building connections across the region. We are proud to see her take on this leadership role and know she will bring the same energy, expertise and passion to the Society as she does to her work with our clients.”
Alongside her professional work, Sabina is a Board Member of Leigh Trust, a multi-academy trust in Birmingham and is active in mentoring and community engagement across the city.
Sabina Kauser said: “I’m honoured to have been appointed Deputy Vice President of Birmingham Law Society. The Society plays an important role in supporting our profession and giving the Birmingham legal community a strong voice. Having served on its Council and as Chair of the Immigration Committee, I’ve seen first-hand the difference it makes, and I’m excited to continue contributing in this new role. I look forward to working with colleagues across the region to promote excellence, inclusivity and collaboration in the years ahead.”
