About

As a Partner in the Immigration & Global Mobility teams, I support clients across all areas of UK business, high-net worth immigration and global mobility co-ordination. I focus on the Sport, Technology, Financial Services, Engineering, Charities and Pharma sectors.

I advise corporate clients on outbound and UK in-bound immigration and global mobility programs. I advise on immigration following complex company restructures or M&A. I specialise in all aspects of the UK's Points Based (Immigration) System and support sponsor licence holders with Home Office audits and assurance calls.

I also specialise in applications under the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) and I have developed a niche expertise in Global Business Mobility – Service Supplier (previously T5 International Agreement Contractual Service Supplier) sponsorship.

I am a member of the Immigration Lawyers Practitioners Association (ILPA).
