The ‘very responsive, commercially minded and results-focused team’ at Mishcon de Reya LLP stands out for its advice to UHNW and HNW clients, handling discretionary applications for naturalisation and indefinite leave to remain. At the helm, practice head Steven Bostock has extensive experience in advising UHNW and high-profile clients on long residence, asylum and family-based applications, as well as being recognised for his robust appeals and judicial review practice. Hannah Barnett’s expertise spans European movement rights following Brexit, the Points-Based System and second citizenship applications, while Kamal Rahman and Maria Patsalos are recommended for their work supporting UHNW and high-profile individuals across all areas of immigration law. Neil Shanghavi and David Deane were promoted to partner in 2024 and 2025 respectively, while the ‘top notch’ Jessica Good is a key contact for contentious immigration matters.
