About

I advise on all areas of UK business and personal immigration law, working with clients across a broad range of sectors with a particular focus on the professional and financial services and technology sectors.

Recently my practice has focused on advising clients on the immigration implications of corporate transactions and M&A activity.

I am a member of the Immigration Law Practitioners' Association.
