We are extremely proud that the firm’s Immigration Department has once again been ranked in the top band for its human rights, asylum and deportation work in the Chambers & Partners UK Guide 2025, and once again in the top band for its personal immigration work.
This follows a year when our team has been at the cutting edge of immigration law. We have represented claimants in the successful Rwanda policy litigation, the Afghan resettlement schemes litigation, and the Diego Garcia unlawful detention claims.
Of equal importance are the hundreds of clients we have helped to get refugee status, succeed in a visa application, or win an appeal against deportation. Our team gives 100% whatever the case.
The department is very grateful to its clients, NGO partners and the professionals it works with. We pride ourselves on being a collaborative team of over 50 lawyers. We are proud of each member of our team for the contribution they have made to the department’s success over the last year.
Chambers has singled out for individual recognition a number of our lawyers.
Anita Vasisht, our Head of Department, and Ana Gonzalez and Muhunthan Paramesvaran, our Deputy Heads, have all been individually ranked once again.
Our veteran lawyers, Michael Hanley and Matthew Davies, have been ranked as Senior Statesman and Eminent Practitioner respectively.
We are thrilled that partner Aisling Ni Chuinn has been ranked for the first time and that partner Chris McKendry has been identified as up and coming.
And it is fantastic to see Imogen Townley given well deserved Star Associate status and Mala Savjani identified as an Associate to Watch.
The department was also ranked in the recently published Legal500 Guide for 2025 in the Immigration category and we were particularly pleased to see partner Marcela Navarette praised so highly.
We are proud of the whole team and look forward to another year of believing in justice for all and going the extra mile for our clients.
