Immigration - London (Bar)
Individual Editorial
Mark Symes is a high-quality barrister who offers an all-round immigration service and is noted for his work on international protection. Before coming to the Bar, he worked at the Refugee Legal Centre, and he is now best known for appearing in various landmark country guidance asylum cases and judicial review challenges. He has extensive experience before the higher courts, including the Supreme Court and Court of Appeal.
Strengths
His pleadings are very thorough and persuasive, and his advice is accurate and to the point. He fearlessly represents his clients and always has the best interests of his clients at heart.
I have worked with Mark for a number of years and have always found the quality of his work to be excellent. He is also very good at meeting deadlines, even if they are challenging.
Mark is an absolutely phenomenal barrister who is great with professional and lay clients, and just a pleasure to work with.
