Leading immigration lawyers with decades of experience acting for individuals and assisting with all aspects of their personal immigration needs
We understand that the needs of individuals and their families are unique and often complex. Our Personal Immigration team is dedicated to providing tailored advice to ensure that our clients are supported through every step of their journey. We have a track record of delivering results in complex circumstances and rapidly changing immigration environments.
We work alongside our clients as trusted advisor from the moment a move is considered. Whether clients are relocating with family, looking to set up a business, work or study, we assist at every step, from initial visa applications and extensions, through to permanent residence/indefinite leave to remain, and citizenship.
We work closely with colleagues from around the firm, including in our Family, Tax and Wealth Planning, Residential Real Estate and Reputation teams to provide integrated and coordinated solutions. We also have a trusted network of advisers who are able to help our clients with any aspects of their relocation to the UK, including identifying appropriate schools, finding the right properties, and assisting with membership of private clubs.
With international offices in Singapore and through our association with Karas LLP in Hong Kong, and MDR Mayfair in London, Singapore and Dubai, we also have a global reach in some of the world's leading bases, offering innovative solutions that are aligned with our clients' broader legal and personal requirements.
