About Immigration Law

Our Immigration Department encompasses all areas of Immigration Law. So, whether you’re looking to come and live in the UK as a business owner, investor, professional, student or spouse, our expert Immigration Solicitors can help you achieve your goals with pragmatic advice and professional guidance.

To ensure that you have every chance of success in your application, your designated Immigration Solicitor will explore the options available to you based on your individual circumstances and prepare the necessary documents and complete your immigration application on your behalf.

We often assist both individuals and organisations on immigration, from right to work and sponsorship applications, through to workforce mobility, working collaboratively with you and HR teams to achieve your or your business objectives.

When you’re ready to make living in the UK permanent, your personal Immigration Solicitor can switch your temporary status to indefinite leave to remain and/or as a British citizen.

Leonard Solicitors has extensive experience in settling people’s immigration status via business, work, and family routes, which is highly valued by our community and clients.

Legal Aid Immigration Solicitors

Being one of the few Law Firms on the South Coast to provide Legal Aid, a large part of what we do in immigration is helping those who are most vulnerable. Our Legal Aid Immigration Solicitors take pride in the hard but rewarding work that goes behind helping asylum-seeking children and adults achieve refugee status in the UK. Throughout our time working in immigration, we have managed to help thousands of asylum seekers achieve refugee status, who later refer family and friends, and further their own immigration status.

Legal Aid is available for Asylum claims and claims involving Domestic Abuse, Settlement Protection, unaccompanied asylum-seeking children, Human Trafficking, and Compensation relating to Human Trafficking, but eligibility is also based on your finances. Many of our clients receive support from the National Asylum Support Service, where we will require evidence from them to support your legal aid application. Of course, your designated Legal Aid Immigration Solicitor will explore the option of legal aid with you and your eligibility. We have two Level 2 Accredited Immigration Supervisors, one Level 2 Accredited Immigration and Asylum caseworker, and one Level 1 Accredited Immigration and Asylum caseworkers, ready to help adults and children achieve refugee status.
