Firm Overview:
Irvine Thanvi Natas (ITN) is a leading firm of solicitors and advocates. The firm acts for private clients, businesses and NGOs domestically and internationally and is particularly recognised for excellence in the fields of criminal law, business crime and regulation, public law and litigation, human rights, actions against the police, family law, and immigration. The firm’s lawyers are known for their work in protecting the rights of individuals across a range of legal disciplines.

The crime department has defended in some of the most high profile prosecutions of recent years. These have included political cases and complex financial crime. However, the firm offers representation at every stage of the criminal process and in relation to a wide range of offences. ITN’s family team specialises in both private and public cases and has acted in a series of precedent setting cases which have helped to shape children law. The team advises on divorce, financial remedies and pre-nuptial agreements. The immigration team provides a wide range of services for individuals and businesses, including visa and entry-clearance applications, applications for extension and variation of existing leave to remain in the UK and naturalisation.

ITN’s civil liberties team has brought a number of groundbreaking challenges to public bodies, many involving important human rights principles. The firm’s expertise extends to appellate work in the Supreme Court and the European Court of Human Rights. Many of the firm’s lawyers are recognised as experts in their fields and are frequently asked to comment on legal issues in the national media. ITN’s reputation is based on an exceptional commitment to the work it undertakes and the results that it is able to achieve for its clients.
