Immigration - London (Bar)

Band 4

Individual Editorial

Jessica Smeaton engages in immigration and asylum cases, both privately and publicly funded. She frequently acts in appeals and judicial reviews, often appearing before the First-tier and Upper Tribunals. She has also recently represented clients in the Supreme Court and SIAC.

Strengths

Her written advocacy is perfect - very succinct and precise. Her strength is asylum for clients in the LGBT community, and she has got some very high-quality work in that space.

She is great, she's brilliant. She has exactly the calm that a leading counsel needs.

She is a first-rate advocate.
