• Providing strategic, post-Brexit immigration advice, including EU Settlement Scheme applications and policy direction

About You

You will be a senior UK-qualified solicitor (likely 10+ PQE) with a proven track record in corporate immigration law. You will ideally have:

• A portable client following or strong business development credentials
• Demonstrable leadership skills and the ability to mentor and develop junior lawyers
• Commercial acumen and a solutions-focused approach
• A collaborative mindset with the ambition to grow an already thriving team
• Experience advising HR and legal departments at a strategic level

What’s on Offer
