We are delighted to be assisting a leading London, mid-sized,full-service law firm who areseeking an experienced Immigration Partner to establish and lead its immigration offering as part of the firm’s continued strategic growth.

This is a rare opportunity for an ambitious individual to build and shape a practice from the ground up with full support from an established platform and strong internal referral network. The successful candidate may join with a Head of Immigration title and will play a key role in developing the firm’s wider private client and employment offering.
