The team at boutique firm Laura Devine Immigration harnesses an ‘abundance of knowledge’ in the full breadth of immigration matters, with a particularly robust human rights and appeals practice. The practice is co-led by the ’very personable’ Matthew Wills, a specialist in family matters involving complex visit visa and Article 8 ECHR applications. Wills is joined by Zeena Luchowa, who represents clients in challenges to Home Office refusals, asylum and humanitarian protection matters. Francesca Sciberras handles cases involving nationality and European nationals post-Brexit, while Brian Naumann supports clients in applications made outside the rules on compassionate grounds. Other key contacts include head of the firm Laura Devine and the highly regarded Sophie Barrett-Brown, with the latter handling a wide range of discretionary applications across the immigration spectrum.
