Immigration Law Team

 

Immigration and nationality law regulates admission to the United Kingdom for the purpose of family reunion, employment, business, retirement and temporary residence.

 

These traditional areas of national policy and law have been increasingly influenced and directed by developments in EU law, from free movement of persons to rights under association agreements. The influence of international law has been most marked in the extensive litigation and legislation concerning asylum in the United Kingdom under the Refugee Convention and the European Convention on Human Rights.

 

The Human Rights Act will add to the significance of this case-work and also provides additional grounds to promote respect for family and private life in immigration control.

 

7 Bell Yard members are recognised as leading practitioners in this field, with extensive experience in all areas of immigration law and practice.
