Hasnain Sajjad, who is director of solicitors firm Batley Law, was presented with the coveted “Rising Star” accolade during a glittering reception held at the Royal Ascot Racecourse Conference Suite in Berkshire.

Commemorating the 77th anniversary of Pakistan's creation as a sovereign nation state on August 14, 1947, the annual Pakistani Achievers Awards take place every year in the month of August to coincide with the Sub-Continent's independence celebrations.

The event brings together representatives from the British-Pakistani community, including famous Pakistani celebrities, dedicated charity workers and also Pakistani business leaders attending alongside British-Pakistani professionals working across the country's public and private sector.

Speaking to the Reporter Series, Hasnain said: “It's been an incredible journey over the last few years ever since I joined Batley Law. Some amazing milestones have been achieved in my role as a director at this firm.”

He continued: “From doubling our online reviews to growing the team, from building our very own CRM portal to doubling our turnover, from building capacity to giving back to the community through our charitable activities, the reality is everything has been made very easy because I'm part of an amazingly dedicated team of hard workers.”

Talking about his background, Hasnain said: “Having worked successfully in retail management, Islamic finance, the charity sector and currently in the law industry, I am grateful to all those who have supported my growth as well as my personal development, with the warmest gratitude going first and foremost to my own parents.”

This year's Pakistani Achievers Awards were dedicated to King Charles III.

The awards recognise the contribution being made in society, sports, the arts, culture, cuisine, business and in many other areas by members of the British-Pakistani community.
