Immigration law advice around London for individuals and employers from a team of leading immigration lawyers
Our team of London based immigration lawyers is one of the top ranked teams in London and the UK and is one of a relatively small number of very highly ranked immigration law teams that provides legal advice to a very broad range of individuals and employers.
We advise on immigration matters ranging from routine immigration applications to extremely complex, high stakes and nuanced immigration matters and try to keep our fees within the reach of a wide range of individual and employer clients.
A very large proportion of visa applications submitted by our team members have been granted, despite many of these applications being extremely complex, discretionary in nature and/or requiring creative arguments to succeed.
