Immigration Law
Work permits, residency, corporate mobility and appeals against refusal.
Detailed overview
Immigration outcomes are decided largely by the quality of the application file. We prepare submissions that anticipate the caseworker's objections rather than leaving them to be raised later.
For corporate clients we run mobility programmes — intra-company transfers, work authorisations, dependant applications and compliance obligations — with the timelines that hiring decisions actually depend on.
For individuals and families we advise on residency and long-term status, and represent clients in appeals and reviews where an application has been refused.

The attorneys handling immigration law.
Before you make contact.
Submit the consultation form on this site, call the office, or email our intake address. We aim to acknowledge every enquiry within one business day and to offer an appointment within three. Where a matter is time-critical — an arrest, an injunction, a deadline that expires this week — say so in your first message and we will treat it accordingly.
A named partner or senior associate is responsible for every file and remains your point of contact throughout. Work is delegated within the team where it is efficient to do so — document review does not need partner time — but supervision does not move, and you will always know who is accountable.
Depending on the matter: hourly at the rate of the lawyer doing the work, a fixed fee for defined scopes such as documentation or a licence application, or a retainer for continuing advisory work. Whichever applies, you receive a written engagement letter setting out the basis, the rate and the estimate before any chargeable work begins.
Yes, directly, and at the first opportunity. A candid assessment early is worth considerably more than an encouraging one that changes eight months and a large invoice later. Where a case is weak we will explain why, and whether anything can be done to strengthen it.
