Legal Advice on Immigration Services

You ask the question. We have the answer.

At Carter Lemon Camerons, our experienced solicitors are available to provide comprehensive advice to individuals and businesses on a range of immigration issues.

As a firm we recognise there are many different reasons for people wanting to move to the UK. These range from individuals who are looking to start up or expand a business, to people hoping to study at a college or university and those who want to join relatives already living here.

Navigating the rules can be time-consuming and complicated which is why it is always important to seek expert advice at the earliest opportunity. We will guide you through every stage of the process and tailor our advice to clients’ specific circumstances.

Typical Work

  • Residency and citizenship applications
