Solicitor / Fee Earner (Fee Sharing Basis) in Slough

About Imran & Co Solicitors

Imran & Co Solicitors is a well-established and highly regarded specialist immigration law firm based in Whitechapel, London. We are recognised for providing high-quality legal advice and representation across all areas of UK Immigration, Asylum, Nationality, Human Rights, Appeals, and Judicial Review.

The Opportunity

Demand for our services has grown substantially, and we now hold more instructions than our current team can comfortably manage. To meet this demand without compromising the standard of advice and service our clients expect, we are looking to recruit an experienced Immigration Fee Earner on a percentage-based, fee-share arrangement. We have a significant and continuing flow of live matters ready to be picked up from day one. The successful candidate will step into a busy, established caseload and be paid a share of the fees they bill and collect.

This suits a confident, self-motivated immigration professional who wants to focus on doing excellent legal work and being rewarded directly for it, with the backing of an established firm's infrastructure, supervision, branding, and support staff.

How the Remuneration Works

• You receive an agreed percentage of the fees billed and collected on the matters you handle.
• The role is performance-based: there is no fixed salary, retainer, or guaranteed minimum.
• Because we have a ready and substantial caseload to allocate, there is real, billable work available immediately — you are not building from nothing.
• The exact percentage will be agreed with the successful candidate, taking into account experience, expertise, and the nature of the caseload.
• Use of the firm's offices, case management systems, compliance framework, and support staff is provided throughout.

The Role

You will manage a caseload of private immigration matters from instruction through to completion, providing high-quality legal advice and preparing complex applications and legal representations. You will work alongside the firm's directors, solicitors, barristers, and support staff, maintaining the highest standards of professionalism, compliance, and client care.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage an active caseload of private immigration matters from initial instruction through to decision.
• Conduct client consultations and provide clear, practical, and strategic immigration advice.
• Prepare and submit high-quality immigration applications, representations, and supporting evidence.
• Draft detailed legal representations, witness statements, grounds of appeal, skeleton arguments, and Pre-Action Protocol letters.
• Prepare appeal bundles for the First-tier Tribunal and Upper Tribunal.
• Liaise with clients, the Home Office, barristers, experts, and other relevant organisations.
• Ensure files are maintained in accordance with SRA, IAA, UKVI, AML, GDPR, and office compliance requirements.
• Maintain excellent client relationships and contribute to the continued growth of the firm.
• Assist with supervising junior caseworkers and support staff where appropriate.
