Immigration Practice

I have a longstanding commitment to the rights of individuals seeking asylum, entry and settlement in the United Kingdom.  I have particular expertise across the following fields of personal immigration law:

• Asylum and human rights;
• Deportation;
• Detention, bail and habeas corpus;
• Entry clearance (spouses, students, dependant relatives, working holidaymakers etc.);
• EC free movement law;
• Dublin II Convention removals;
• Settlement and return to the UK;
• Naturalisation;
• Nationality;
• Statelessness;
• Work permits;
• Eastern European and Turkish Association Agreements;
• Highly Skilled Migrant Programme.

I regularly represent appellants before the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal, the Administrative Court and the Court of Appeal.   I also have experience of litigation before the European Court of Human Rights.

I am a serving independent Immigration Funding Review Adjudicator.  In this quasi-judicial post I determine appeals by foreign nationals against decisions of the Legal Services Commission to refuse to grant legal aid.
