About

Providing pragmatic UK immigration, asylum and nationality law to individuals, families and corporations when dealing with the UK Government (Home Office).

Before specialising in UK immigration, asylum and nationality law, I spent years in criminal law practice defending individuals from the police station up to the Courts. I then moved to representing and assisting individuals and families who sought asylum in the UK and resisting removal from the UK.

By virtue of the complexity of UK immigration law, I found myself advising corporations their responsibilities to the Home Office when hiring foreign workers and the consequences of non-compliance. I work closely with the business operations teams and HR teams, advising them not only about sponsoring a foreign worker, but also advising on the impact of the immigration laws on their future strategy plans.

As a full service firm, our clients hugely benefit from other specialist services we offer such as employment, corporate, tax and property; making a stressful and overwhelming legal process, a stress-free one by providing full support where we can.
