Immigration & Asylum Law
UK immigration rules change constantly. What was possible last year may not be possible now, and what seems straightforward often has hidden requirements. We help individuals, families, and businesses navigate applications, respond to refusals, and challenge decisions that are wrong.
From sponsoring overseas workers to reuniting families, from protection claims to fighting deportation, we handle applications, appeals, and urgent matters across the full range of immigration work.

How We Can Help
For Employers
Business Immigration
Employing someone from outside the UK usually means holding a sponsor licence. Getting one is a single application. Keeping one is a continuing obligation, and it is the part that catches employers out: the Home Office can inspect, and a licence can be downgraded or revoked, which affects every worker already sponsored under it.
Right to work checks sit alongside this and apply to every employer, licence or not. A correct check made before employment starts is what establishes a statutory excuse against a civil penalty.
Applying for a sponsor licence
Establishing that the organisation is eligible and genuine, that the role is suitable for sponsorship, and putting the key personnel and systems in place before the application is made.
Keeping the licence
Record keeping, reporting changes through the sponsorship management system, and preparing for a Home Office visit. Most licence problems are compliance failures rather than application failures.
Sponsored work routes
Assigning certificates of sponsorship and supporting applications on the Skilled Worker and business mobility routes, including for a business establishing a UK presence.
How this work is funded
Privately funded. Business immigration is outside the scope of civil legal aid, which is a real difference from the asylum and human rights work described elsewhere on this page. Costs are discussed and confirmed in writing before work begins.
