# Business Description

Shak Inayat is a specialist divorce and family law solicitor based in London EC2N 2HE, with over 30 years of qualified experience. Operating through Penn Chambers, the practice provides expert legal guidance on divorces, civil partnership dissolution, children disputes, financial settlements, and injunctions, alongside wills, trusts and probate services.

What sets Shak Inayat apart is a rare dual qualification combining legal expertise with financial services knowledge. As both an SRA-regulated solicitor and FCA-regulated mortgage broker (CeMAP and CeRER qualified), Shak uniquely offers integrated solutions spanning family law, mortgages, equity release, life insurance and financial protections. This cross-disciplinary approach allows for tailored, holistic advice addressing both immediate legal concerns and long-term financial implications—particularly valuable during divorce proceedings where property and financial arrangements intersect.

The practice applies a strategic, goal-oriented approach: sensitive yet firm when handling children's arrangements to prioritise the child's welfare, and tenacious when protecting clients' financial interests. Rather than generic solutions, Shak delivers bespoke personal service emphasising relationship-building and efficient resolution.

With a background as a Territorial Army reservist and All Arms Commando, alongside credentials in business and legal strategy, Shak brings disciplined problem-solving to complex family disputes. The combination of three decades' family law experience, financial services expertise, and a commitment to accessible, professional service makes this practice particularly suited to clients seeking comprehensive protection of their interests during separation and divorce.
