Immigration lawyers
Personal immigration experts
Our personal immigration team has extensive experience in working with clients to find bespoke strategies for them to relocate, remain or settle in the UK. We advise on the full spectrum of immigration options, providing clear and practical legal advice, a detailed and individual plan of action which is cost-effective and straightforward. Our team also assists with nationality applications.
We quickly grasp the strengths, weaknesses and the practical steps needed and can generally work with a fixed fee payable until a certain point in your application (usually a decision by the Home Office or relevant adjudicator).
Clients seek our help and expertise from all over the world. These include clients from EU countries, the US, Canada, Australia, Africa, India, Russia and the CIS states, the Middle East, China and many others.
Our fees are reasonable and do not change once they are agreed with you.
We also advise and represent clients in cases and appeals before the UK courts and tribunals. We are often instructed to deal with complex cases where other lawyers have failed to find a solution.
