“The deep bench at Wilson Solicitors LLP combines ‘professionalism and integrity’ with ’exceptional’ legal knowledge to act for clients in high-profile asylum, deportation and human rights cases …”
“Wilson Solicitors may be the most important immigration firm in the area; they are one of the few still doing legal aid immigration work, combining it with private work. They are SO important …”
We are extremely proud that the firm’s Immigration Department has once again received Tier 1 ranking for its Immigration: human rights work in the Legal 500 2026, and Tier 3 in the new category of Immigration: personal.
We are particularly praised for representing “VT and others in their claims for asylum and unlawful detention whilst on the British Indian Overseas Territory (BIOT) of Diego Garcia”, and for our efforts to help a client who was “deprived of her citizenship on national security grounds after travelling to Syria in 2014”. But of equal importance are the hundreds of clients we have helped to get refugee status, succeed in a visa application, or win an appeal against deportation. Our team gives 100% whatever the case.
The department is very grateful to its clients, NGO partners and the professionals it works with. We pride ourselves on being a collaborative team of over 50 lawyers. We are proud of each member of our team for the contribution they have made to the department’s success over the last year.
The Legal 500 has singled out for individual recognition a number of our lawyers.
Anita Vasisht, our Head of Department, once again features in the Hall of Fame, and our Deputy Heads Ana Gonzalez, Muhunthan Paramesvaran are ranked as Leading Partners.
We are also thrilled that partner Marcela Navarette is recognised as a Next Generation Partner and that, our other partners, Aisling Ni Chuinn and Chris McKendry are praised as “key lawyers”.
We are proud of the whole team and look forward to another year of believing in justice for all and going the extra mile for our clients.
