About

Provided by Mishcon de Reya LLP

We advise private and corporate clients on the full spectrum of UK immigration and nationality law. Requirements can be specific, unusual and require prompt outcomes due to the necessity to travel urgently and freely.

We also advise clients on US immigration requirements and the team provides a comprehensive transatlantic immigration advice and service for companies, individuals, and family offices.

Our clients often require advice for other key international locations and we are well accustomed to both the legal and cultural nuances involved when advising clients around the world. With numerous offices, we provide clients with integrated and innovative immigration solutions. We have a multinational team, equipped with cultural and linguistic fluency, that can provide bespoke services to the most discerning international client base.
