‘Roger Gherson is a powerhouse, who continues to go from strength to strength. If you are a client with a complex, politically sensitive case that engages geopolitics, and you need international protection, then there is still no better person to go to than Roger Gherson.'
- 'Charles Burnett has a calm, intellectual focus, but that is combined with a well-refined understanding of the tactical and procedural matters which are essential for any lawyer acting against the Home Office. Charles is steadily rising to the top of the pile when it comes to handling complex, politically sensitive protection cases.’
- 'This firm does the full spread of immigration, asylum and nationality work - but also links that to extradition cases, cases under sanctions legislation (SAMLA 2018) and Investor Treaty cases. In this regard it is doing highly innovative work.’
‘Roger Gherson consistently opposes injustices, is innovative in doing so, and indefatigable in his efforts. His partner Charles Burnett is also outstanding.’
