Transatlantic services are a key specialism for boutique firm Laura Devine Immigration, with close coordination between its offices in London and New York. The team has a ‘deep bench‘ of lawyers, led by the ‘peerless‘ Laura Devine, who founded the firm and is dual-qualified as both a solicitor in England and Wales and a US attorney. Senior partner Sophie Barrett-Brown heads up the UK practice, covering all aspects of UK immigration and nationality and EU free movement law, as well as advising corporate clients on matters including complex restructures, start-ups, and scale-ups. Natasha Chell is similarly capable in the field of corporate immigration, with a niche focus on clients in the armed forces – a significant area of strength for the firm. US attorney Christi Hufford Jackson leads the US-focused practice in London, while Zeena Luchowa and Matthew Wills co-lead the human rights practice, and were promoted to associate partners in July 2022, alongside Nicolette Bostock and Francesca Sciberras.
