Home office: Manchester
Team: Immigration
I am a solicitor in our immigration team, based in Manchester, advising businesses and individuals on all aspects of UK immigration law.
I joined Clarke Willmott in November 2026, following the acquisition of Latitude Law. I combine meticulous case preparation with a pragmatic, results-focused approach. I understand that in immigration matters, the smallest detail can make the difference between success and refusal, but that practical concerns can be just as important to clients. Whether a business needs to urgently challenge a sponsor licence revocation or a partner is waiting to be reunited with their spouse, I work efficiently to progress matters as quickly as possible without compromising the quality of the case.
I take pride in giving each client dedicated, personalised attention. My clients value my responsiveness, professionalism and attention to detail, as well as my ability to deliver high-quality work at pace, even in complex and time-sensitive matters.

I have represented clients at the First-tier Tribunal in asylum appeals and bail hearings, accompanied individuals to asylum interviews, and advocated for detainees at immigration removal centres. I am also experienced in complex removal and deportation matters, as well as nuanced citizenship law.

What my clients say
Recent examples of my work
- Successfully challenged the revocation of a large care home operator’s sponsor licence following allegations of underpayment. The licence was reinstated, allowing the business to continue sponsoring workers.
- Secured a sponsor licence for a small film production company with no existing UK employees, enabling it to sponsor a business development manager. Advised on implementing appropriate HR systems to meet its ongoing reporting, record-keeping and compliance obligations.
- Secured a partner visa for an applicant whose work required extensive international travel and temporary periods overseas. Prepared detailed representations addressing the requirement to demonstrate an intention to live permanently in the UK.
- Challenged a refusal of refugee status through an appeal supported by detailed evidence. Following a review of the evidence, the Home Office quickly withdrew its decision, avoiding the need for a substantive appeal hearing.
- Successfully challenged the Home Office’s cancellation of a client’s Skilled Worker permission following concerns arising from her husband’s conduct. The decision was overturned and her immigration permission reinstated.
- Secured Global Talent permission for a celebrated music video producer, preparing a successful application that was granted promptly and without issue.
