‘Renowned for its expertise in UK immigration matters’, the expanding team at Bindmans LLP offers comprehensive advice across all business-related UK immigration rules and visa categories. Led by industry powerhouse Liz Barratt and the ’fantastic’ Tanya Goldfarb, the group advises multinationals, SMEs, charities and unions on sponsorship and right to work compliance, as well as devising tailored in-house immigration policies. Alison Stanley handles matters on behalf of NGOs and local authorities, while Roberta Haslam is a key contact for Global Talent and skilled worker visa applications. The team’s business immigration capabilities were bolstered by the arrival of ‘standout lawyer’ Natalie Loader, formerly of Mishcon de Reya LLP, in October 2024. Loader is recognised for her experience in representing UK companies after the revocation or suspension of sponsor licences and has successfully secured reinstatements from the Home Office, particularly for clients in the health and care sector. Alice Davis and Karma Hickman are other names to note.
