About Me

I am a barrister, professional author and consultant.

I practise in London, though I travel widely in Europe and elsewhere to see clients. I take an overarching approach to ensure that all aspects of migration, residence and citizenship applications, as well as legal remedies, are considered. I provide strategic advice to secure the optimum outcome for clients and their families.

I assist client with applicaitons for visas, residence permits and legal remedies. I see clients in conference to advise them, provide written advice and act in hearings in the Immigration Tribunals, the High Court and the Appeal courts. I have appeared in numerous cases before the Court of Justice of the European Union and advise and act in petitions to the European Court of Human Rights.

I also act as a consultant to NGOs and international organisations, to assist with strategic litigation, analyses and reports of immigraiton and nationality law and practice, and actions plans for reform.
