He is developing a mixed common law practice including general civil litigation, contractual disputes, bankruptcy petitions, landlord and tenant, housing (possession and disrepair), personal injury and general crime. Nawazish has a keen interest in constitutional law (with a particular emphasis on Caribbean constitutional law), judicial review and public international law. Nawazish is also on the Treasury Solicitor's "Baby Barrister" scheme advising Her Majesty's Prison Service on cases involving personal injury, human rights and other areas of public law.

Thereafter, Nawazish worked pro bono as an intern with the Centre for Capital Punishment Studies in Trinidad and Tobago on capital punishment appeals to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (2004 - 2005).
