The team 

We are a team with a specialism in Immigration matters.  Our mission is to help vulnerable people overcome adversity and trauma.  We also facilitate our client’s asylum applications in hope of gaining their legal status to remain in the UK. 

Everyone in the team is passionate and driven to help young people rebuild their lives after experienced atrocities abroad.  Our clients arrive here unaccompanied and often without the ability to speak English.  This makes them particularly vulnerable to exploitation and discrimination. 

Empowering Everyone 

We’re big believers in potential, possibility and the power of different ideas. We’re always searching for ways to encourage, respect and enable everyone to be the best they can be. We aim to include all communities we serve in our representation. To achieve this, we encourage applications from everyone. #LI-Hybrid
