About

I am a Trainee at the firm, having previously been a paralegal suppporting the Immigration team.

As part of the Immigration Team I assisted with all areas of immigration law, with a particular focus on the sport sector. I have an in-depth knowledge of applying for International Sportsperson visas for both Players and Coaches. I also assisted with and have in-depth knowledge of the Skilled Worker visa route, PBS Dependant visa route, Global Talent visa route and Global Business Mobility visa route. I understand the complexities of immigration law and know how important it is to have fast results and a deep knowledge of the visa route. The visa process can be very stressful and time sensitive and I understand how important it is for individuals and employers to have a reliable and knowledgeable person at hand to help guide them through the process, with minimal fuss.
