Maryam Akhavan-Tabib has a particular interest in the European Convention on Human Rights. Before undertaking her pupillage in chambers, she worked at the AIRE (Advice on Individual Rights in Europe) Centre, where she drafted submissions to the European Court of Human Rights in family cases. These included submissions in a group action concerning the inability of parents to sue public authorities for the wrongfully negligent mis-diagnosis of their children as having suffered non-accidental injury.

Maryam has spoken on the right of prisoners to see their families under the ECHR and has contributed to a handbook for prisoners' families published in 2006 by the European Committee for the Children of Prisoners. She has also taught at Birkbeck Law School as part of their LLM course on Human Rights.
