Biography
I am an associate solicitor in the Immigration team at Irwin Mitchell. I exclusively specialise in UK Immigration Law and have significant experience advising personal and business clients on a wide range of immigration matters, including:
- Family-based applications
- Naturalisation and Registration
- Sponsor Licence applications
- Skilled Worker visas.
Throughout my career, I have secured numerous successful outcomes for a broad and diverse client base. I always aim to make complex processes more manageable for my clients and ensure they feel supported at every stage.
What inspired you to get into law?
My first role in a law firm was actually in the marketing team – and seeing the incredible work of the Immigration team inspired me to get back into studying law.
What is the most rewarding aspect of your role?
Helping clients navigate the system confidently, and ultimately securing excellent outcomes, is incredibly fulfilling.
What do you like about working at Irwin Mitchell?
Being part of our incredible Immigration team. It’s a supportive, highly skilled, and collaborative group, and working alongside such dedicated colleagues makes even the most complex cases rewarding.
What do you do away from the office?
Most of my free time is happily spent with my two young children—they keep me on my toes and make sure there's never a dull moment! I’m also currently learning Polish, which is both challenging and rewarding in equal measure.
Testimonials
“Cathryn has been just brilliant. She was extremely clear and cautious and made everything she could in order to help us. I cannot thank her enough. Highly recommended.” – Mr B, partner of the client.
“I would certainly confirm that she was absolutely sharp and prompt in her advice, her due diligence in handling my application was amazing and precise, she didn’t leave a chance for a mistake, or misinterpretation. Even though the process in preparing my papers was stressful, Cathryn made it easy and accommodated any obstacle professionally and humanely.” – Mr A, husband of the client.
“Cathryn has shown exceptional dedication and professionalism in handling our case. Her meticulous attention to detail, clear communication, and commitment made a significant difference throughout the process. From our initial consultation to the resolution, she demonstrated not only a deep understanding of the legal intricacies involved but also genuine empathy and support, which I found incredibly reassuring.” – Mr G
"Me and my partner had a very good experience working with the firm (originally Carter Thomas). After being told by multiple immigration firms that my only options were to either get married or enter into a civil partnership, Carla on our consultation call gave us the confidence that we had a strong case and they could very well help us in getting a positive outcome.
"Our case was then onwards handled by Cathryn Davies who was great to work with. We were given a clear breakdown of the process, time period and the documents required. Throughout the application process, Cathryn guided us and was very particular in everything we needed which made the whole experience a lot smoother. Thanks to the whole team, we have now received a positive decision on my visa and we couldn't be happier." – Ms G, unmarried partner visa.
