Our Immigration Team is recognised as the pre-eminent set of UK barristers specialising in immigration law, with ‘Band 1’ status in the Chambers Bar Guide and a 'Tier 1' ranking in the Legal 500 UK Bar guide. Our barristers have appeared in many of the cases that have shaped UK immigration law, and we continue to write the leading textbooks on immigration and asylum. We work with NGOs and charities on test cases, policy work, campaigns and events.
