Immigration

It’s not just foreign nationals who have to be wary of the UK’s immigration laws. As an employer, you too could fall foul of the ever-evolving legislation and find yourself facing a hefty fine - or even prison.

Our specialist immigration team is constantly up to speed with changing laws and are dedicated to supporting businesses like yours – an approach that legal directory Chambers called ‘extremely creative’ and ‘exceptionally thorough’.

We offer tailored guidance on issues including employing foreign nationals, illegal working checklists, and how the European Economic Area may impact workers and their families.

And it’s not just companies that are at risk. We handle immigration applications for colleges and universities, including niche expertise for applicants of Turkish origin. Naturally, we also offer related services such as marriage entry clearances, judicial reviews and appeals against refusal of entry.

Whatever your problem, we provide insightful, cost-effective advice you can rely on.
