“Khuram Javed has been a member of Alison Law Solicitors for over four years. He originally started out as a paralegal but his amazing dedication to the firm and to learning more meant that he was promoted to a trainee solicitor and subsequently after qualifying has been a practicing solicitor for 18 months.

“We are in complete shock at the tragic events that have taken place.

“Khuram was a beloved and hard working staff member with a bright future ahead of him.

“To all that knew him whether professionally or personally understood what an amazing, loyal and great man he was. We can’t begin to explain how much of a loss his passing will have on us.

“Our hearts go out to his family and friends and especially to his wife and young children in this most difficult time.

“The Alison Law family are heartbroken at the loss of this young, talented and honourable man.

“We will miss him dearly.”

“He was a loving son, beloved husband and a caring father of two,” he said.

“Khuram was a positive and cheerful person who approached everyone with open arms. He has supported many in the community through his kind, caring and generous nature and would always go above and beyond to help others. He has left everlasting impressions on everyone that he encountered.

“All the family, local community and everyone he was known to are devastated by the tragic loss.”
