Complex/human rights applications and appeals

Navigating the UK immigration system can be extremely challenging.  We understand how stressful the prospect of a refusal can be and our lawyers, including those on our dedicated Human Rights and Appeals team, are ideally placed to advise on discretionary, human rights, and other complex immigration matters.

Human rights applications


We have a dedicated Human Rights and Appeals team, who advise individuals in the most compelling and compassionate circumstances.

Discretionary applications


We assist clients in cases where no workable solution appears to exist under the current Immigration Rules and identify potential areas of law that can be challenged.

Challenging Home Office decisions


Our experienced solicitors often advise and provide guidance to clients whose applications have been refused.
