Emma is a highly experienced business immigration lawyer and partner at Freeths LLP. She leads a national team of specialist immigration lawyers who deliver client work in all UK business and personal immigration matters.
Emma has over fifteen years’ experience working with Russell Group universities and national and multi-national businesses. For many organisations and businesses navigating the immigration system is one of the only ways to secure the highly skilled, specialist employees they need to grow their business. The immigration system is however complex and ever changing and mistakes can cause delay and additional expense in securing vital recruitment.
Emma has supported her clients through Home Office audits and has dealt with a multitude of immigration compliance matters. Emma and her team undertake mock audits, providing compliance policies and training to support clients, and work collaboratively with clients to support their business objectives and minimise risk.
Emma works for clients of all sizes in both public and private sectors. She secures visas for clients looking to set up their business in the UK and secures sponsor licences for UK businesses intending to recruit from overseas. Her objective is always to make the immigration system work for Freeths’ clients and their businesses.
Emma is recognised by Chambers (2024 edition) as a Leading Individual.
