Your Legal Partner
We advise on asylum, humanitarian protection and human rights immigration matters. We understand that these cases can be sensitive, urgent and complex. We provide clear, confidential advice on the options available to you.
Asylum and human rights cases often involve complex legal arguments, country guidance caselaw, sensitive personal histories and urgent timescales. We take a careful, thorough and sensitive approach to every matter and provide clear advice at every stage.
We do not guarantee the outcome of any asylum claim, human rights application or appeal.
To qualify for asylum in the UK, you must demonstrate a well-founded fear of persecution in your country of origin on account of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political opinion. If you do not qualify for refugee status, you may qualify for humanitarian protection or discretionary leave on human rights grounds.
We advise on the strength of your claim, help you prepare your witness statement and supporting evidence, and where possible attend your asylum interview with you as your legal representative.
For individuals who face a real risk of serious harm in their country of origin but who do not fully meet the refugee definition under the 1951 Refugee Convention.
Where an asylum claim has previously been refused and all appeal rights exhausted, we advise on whether new evidence or materially changed circumstances support a fresh claim under paragraph 353 of the Immigration Rules.
We prepare and present asylum appeals to the First-tier Tribunal, including the full appeal bundle, witness statements, country evidence and legal submissions.
Even where asylum does not apply, an individual may have a right to remain in the UK under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights — the right to respect for private and family life. Article 8 claims are assessed on proportionality: whether removal would be a disproportionate interference with established private or family life in the UK.
Where removal would disproportionately interfere with an established family life in the UK, particularly cases involving British citizen children, a settled partner or dependent relatives.
For individuals who have lived in the UK for 20 continuous years and have established a significant private life here, meeting the requirements of paragraph 276ADE(1)(iii).
Applications based on compelling circumstances outside the Immigration Rules, including serious medical conditions, child welfare under section 55, or other exceptional factors.
Advice and representation for individuals facing deportation following a criminal conviction, including cases where a deportation order has been made.
Applications for bail from immigration detention, including First-tier Tribunal bail hearings and Secretary of State bail applications where there is a realistic prospect of release.
Urgent advice for individuals who have been served with removal directions, including where a judicial review or injunction may be needed to prevent removal.
All information is treated in strict confidence. Asylum and human rights matters require sensitivity and we handle every case with care and discretion.
Please tell us immediately if you have a removal date, are in detention, or have an urgent appeal deadline. We will respond as quickly as possible to urgent enquiries.
