About
Provided by Farrer & Co LLP
We work closely with our clients, their family offices, our colleagues, and a wealth of international advisers across various jurisdictions to understand our clients’ full needs and circumstances. We arrive at practical and bespoke solutions, putting in place comprehensive and coordinated immigration strategies which take into account a wide range of considerations, such as tax planning and children’s educational needs.
Drawing on our wide-ranging expertise, we manage complex cases which often fall outside the scope of the immigration rules, or where previous visa non-compliance or refusals have left clients in difficult situations. Our team has many years’ experience working with the Home Office, achieving excellent outcomes for clients previously facing immigration difficulties. Where we need to, we act for clients in judicial review applications, administrative reviews and appeals.
High net worth individuals and their families come to us for strategic advice and an overview of the most suitable immigration routes available to them. This often involves investor visas, spouse visas, student visas for their children, and visas for relatives either wishing to visit or permanently settle in the UK.
Where people have lived in the UK for several years, we are able to assist with applications for permanent residence, indefinite leave to remain and citizenship applications.
