We have an absolutely vibrant global immigration law practice.
Our immigration practice deals with all aspects of immigration, nationality, human rights and European Union law. We also have a particular specialism in relation to work related to the EU Citizens’ Directive. We excel at representing clients and producing results for our immigration clients. To be sure, our longstanding immigration law practice is the envy of the region.
Understanding the constantly changing fabric of immigration law requires sound advice. So let us be your guide to finding the right direction to get your visa, settlement or citizenship needs sorted out.
We have a niche in business related immigration and provide services to corporate and high net worth clients on investor and entrepreneur visas under the points-based system (PBS). We undertake instructions in the Tier 1 space of the PBS and act routinely for Tier 1 (Investor), Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) and Tier 1 (Exceptional Talent) applicants.
We also undertake work under Tier 2, Tier 4 and Tier 5 of the PBS. We are specialists in making entry clearance applications for spouses, dependant relatives and children in the context of the Immigration Rules in the UK. We also work in all areas of British nationality law and are experts on historic claims to British nationality.
