Expertise

Immigration and Nationality

Colin advises on the full range of UK immigration and nationality matters, including entry clearance, permission to remain, settlement and British citizenship. He assists clients both in planning their route to the UK and in preserving or regularising their position once here.

He has experience of cases that do not fit readily within the usual routes, including those involving a complex immigration history, sensitive family circumstances or competing legal and practical considerations.

Where necessary, he works closely with the client’s other advisers to ensure that the immigration strategy sits coherently within the broader picture.

Private Wealth

Alongside his principal immigration and nationality practice, Colin has experience of private wealth and wider private client work, including personal and cross-border tax, trusts, succession planning and probate. This perspective is particularly valuable where a family’s immigration arrangements form part of broader estate, wealth or cross-border planning.

 

Colin has encyclopaedic knowledge of immigration law and attention to detail. He goes the extra mile for clients and he is really pleasant to work with
