Position

Roger established Gherson in 1988, some ten years after first qualifying as a solicitor. His prior experience in commercial law, property, tax and litigation gives him a fairly unique perspective as an immigration lawyer. Since then he has built up a dynamic team of specialists in UK immigration, nationality, EU, asylum and human rights law. He is well regarded for resolving complex issues in these fields and has a proven ability to coordinate legal teams to tackle complex applications. Roger’s focus includes private asylum claims and related UK and international human rights work including extradition and national security proceedings. Roger’s reputation for discretion and tenacity is reflected in the firm’s breadth and volume of litigation work, which includes appeals at immigration tribunals, judicial reviews in the High Court and applications to the European Court of Human Rights. He has extensive expertise in advising a wide range of clients, including high-profile international and UK companies and high net worth individuals. Respected for his innovative and direct approach, Roger regularly receives referrals from other law firms. Roger has almost 30 years’ experience and is regularly cited as an expert in all the leading guides to immigration lawyers.
