Immigration

At a time when travel and movement across the globe is easier than ever before, an increasing number of individuals and families look to the United Kingdom with a view to work or permanent settlement.

Trott & Gentry's Immigration Department are holders of the Legal Services Commission's Franchise for immigration work. The commitment of our staff to achieve high standards is part of the Trott & Gentry ethos. Our team does not work on the basis of individual goals but rather on the collective goal to secure the best outcome for the client. We are able to provide a very efficient service as three of our advisers are in house advocates. This ensures that in depth knowledge is available for every case whilst allowing the benefit of a nominated caseworker representing the client at all stages.

In the past, other law firms have trusted us with having the consideration and ability to take on their existing clients when closing their immigration departments. We have taken over the conduct of a significant number of cases from Punatar & Co, Attridge Law and Christian Khan Solicitors when closing down their departments. The fact that they chose us to assist their clients demonstrates that we are highly rated amongst our peers.
