Immigration and asylum
Contact the immigration team today for support and information
We assist individuals with the whole range of immigration, asylum and nationality applications.
We assist individuals at any stage of their immigration journey. These include applications for Entry Clearance for individuals who want to move to the UK; applications for Leave to Remain for individuals who want to stay in the UK (whether or not they currently have valid immigration status); and applications for Indefinite Leave and naturalisation as British citizens for individuals who want to settle in the UK.
Our immigration work, the team and our fees
We have experience from first instance cases to appellate work, including appeals at the First-Tier Tribunal and Upper Tribunal, Judicial Reviews, and cases before the European Court of Human Rights.
We have a particular focus on applications which involve human rights, including applications on the basis of family and private life; asylum claims; revocation of deportation orders; leave for victims of modern slavery; and applications on the basis of domestic abuse.
We are also well known for our expertise with applications by victims of the 2018 Windrush scandal. The team assists individuals with obtaining citizenship and settlement, and in obtaining hardship and compensation payments.
