Applications for bail (both to Chief Immigration Officers and the Tribunal. We represent at the First Tier Tribunals and all the upper courts. A particular specialism is our experience in judicial review applications to the Administrative Court where this is justified. We can make urgent applications to judges for a stay of removal where necessary.

On civil penalties we represent at the County Court (see section on Illegal work).

We also have represented clients before the Special Immigration Appeal Commission.

This background of experience within the courts informs the manner in which we pursue our matters.

We maintain a database of hand-picked and competent barristers and select the most appropriate barrister based on their particular strengths. We manage the process carefully to ensure that the process gives our client the best chance of success.
