Gary McIndoe
Partner and Head of Team
I am a partner and head of our immigration team, based in Manchester, advising UK and international clients on all aspects of immigration, nationality and refugee law.
With 30 years of immigration law experience, I advise businesses, entrepreneurs, high-net-worth individuals and families on complex immigration matters. I joined Clarke Willmott in November 2026, following the acquisition of Latitude Law, which I founded in 2007. Prior to that I worked at the Home Office and have since built a reputation for practical, commercial immigration advice.
How I can help you
I regularly advise clients on:
- Business immigration strategy
- Sponsor licence applications and compliance

- Global Talent visas
- Innovator Founder applications
- British citizenship
- Family visas
- Immigration appeals and judicial review
- Human rights applications
- Asylum and refugee matters
- Deportation and removal cases
- Immigration training and compliance programmes
My focus is on high-level advice and support to businesses and highly skilled individuals seeking to relocate to the UK, and the management of litigation in the High Court on judicial review. I also specialise in international protection cases for high net worth individuals.
