Biography
I specialise in UK immigration law, working on a variety of application types including Skilled Worker, Sponsor Licence, Appendix FM, Indefinite Leave to Remain and Naturalisation.
Key highlights:
- Assisting numerous small and large organisations with obtaining a sponsor licence, allowing them to sponsor individuals in the UK and meet their recruitment needs
- Helping a mother and daughter obtain British citizenship, relying on exceptions to the Naturalisation requirements
- Working with various companies to strengthen their systems and ensure adherence with the sponsor licence duties, amid the Home Office’s recent increase in compliance action
- Assisting a number of UK companies to successfully register onto a Home Office-approved Government Authorised Exchange scheme, allowing them to bring interns over to the UK to complete internship programmes within their organisation.
What inspired you to get into law?
Working with a refugee charity opened my eyes to the importance of helping others access the legal system and having the necessary support to navigate challenges.
What is the most rewarding aspect of your role?
The most rewarding aspect of my role is helping a wide variety of individuals and organisations to achieve their specific needs, whether that involves assisting organisations in the UK to recruit overseas workers, or helping families bring their loved ones over to the UK.
I enjoy working in this dynamic and ever-changing area of law, and assisting clients to navigate the complexities of the UK immigration system.
What do you like about working at Irwin Mitchell?
I enjoy working closely with like-minded colleagues and sharing our wide range of knowledge and experience to solve complex problems and find solutions for clients. In the immigration team, I am fortunate to work with dedicated, caring, and hard-working people who are focused on providing exceptional client service and helping a wide range of individuals.
The firm’s commitments to flexible working, inclusivity and diversity, and responsible business make Irwin Mitchell a great place to work.
What do you do away from the office?
Outside of work I love playing racket sports and I play tennis in the Sheffield & District leagues. When I have time, I enjoy being creative and trying (and mostly failing at) new crafts. Mostly I love spending time with friends and family, catching up over a coffee and fuelling my matcha latte addiction!
