I was an Associate Solicitor and the Branch Manager specialising in Immigration law at the Ilford office of Pride Solicitors.I handled all corporate immigration matters, including sponsor licence applications, prevention of illegal working, objections to civil penalties and all matters relating to Tiers 1 and 2 of the Points Based System, with a particular emphasis on issues relating to ‘dependant leave to remain/enter’ applications (unmarried partners, spouses, children and adopted children, domestic workers, etc.). I have extensive experience in respect of Tier 1 (General), HSMP Forum Judgement, ILR, Sole Representative, Tier 1 (Entrepreneur), Tier 1 (Post-Study Work) and Tier 5 temporary workers applications as well as related appeals and administrative reviews. I also represented my clients in the court of appeal. I was also handling Claimant Personal Injury & serious and catastrophic injury cases arising from all kinds of accidents and I also specialised in clinical negligence cases. Prior to joining Pride Solicitors I headed the Immigration team as a head of Immigration and civil litigation at Jinnah Solicitors LLP.
