Immigration Law

With 17 solicitors, supported by accredited trainees and paralegals, our immigration department is large enough to have a national reputation for expertise, yet small enough to ensure that every client receives a personal service.

We are recommended as one of the top four firms in London for personal immigration by the Chambers and Partners Guide to the Legal Profession. The 2012 edition sates that "this distinguished immigration practice is noted for its extensive experience across the full spectrum of immigration, asylum and nationality work, at all levels up to and including the Supreme Court and the ECHR. It is commended for its commitment to publicly funded work. Sources value the client service, describing the firm as a well-oiled machine - it's fantastically efficient and never compromises on the quality of work it does". We are also recommended in the Legal 500 for our immigration work, the 2011 edition describing us as "exceptional for personal immigration and asylum matters".

Our solicitors specialise in all aspects of personal immigration work. All our solicitors have passed the specialist Immigration Accreditation Examinations that were introduced in 2004. Five of our solicitors are accredited at the highest level of the scheme - the largest number in one solicitors firm nationwide.

We have extensive experience in the whole range of immigration, asylum and nationality work, at all levels up to and including the Supreme Court and the European Court of Human Rights, and have acted in a number of very high profile cases. We represent clients from around the world, and have access to professional interpreters in any language. We can assist with:

• Applications for visas and entry clearance
• Points based and business applications
• Relationship and marriage applications
• Students
• Citizenship and nationality
• Asylum and human rights applications
• Complex extradition and national security deportation matters and contesting the imposition of control orders

We have a national reputation for our refugee work and substantial experience of representing asylum seekers through the maze of legislation. One of our cases was followed by BBC Radio 4's Broadcasting House programme. Download audio clip >>

A key feature of our approach is that no case is too big or too small, and we bring the same dedication and professionalism to all our work, from "routine" applications to the most high-profile cutting-edge case. We offer competitive private fee rates. We are accredited as a quality firm by the Legal Services Commission and Legal Aid is available (subject to eligibility). As well as our usual rates, we can offer fixed fees for standard applications. We also offer an initial one-hour fixed fee diagnostic appointment, with no further obligation.
