IMMIGRATION & NATIONALITY

We advise individuals, families and businesses on UK and Spanish immigration and nationality law. With specialist capability in both jurisdictions, we guide clients through applications, strategy and compliance — from first visas to settlement and citizenship — with advice available in English, Spanish, Russian and Arabic.

UK Immigration

We advise on the full range of UK immigration routes for individuals and employers. Our work includes Skilled Worker and other sponsored routes, family and partner applications, graduate and student visas, global talent and innovator routes, as well as settlement (ILR) and British citizenship. We also support employers with sponsor licensing, right to work compliance and day‑to‑day HR immigration issues.

Spain Immigration

We assist clients with residence and work options in Spain, including non‑lucrative residence, digital nomad/remote worker routes, self‑employed and employed permits, student and researcher visas, and family reunification. We also advise on renewals, long‑term residence and permanent residence, as well as consular procedures.

Nationality and Citizenship

We advise on British nationality (naturalisation, registration and citizenship by descent) and Spanish nationality, including routes based on residence, marriage, and historical or family links where available under current legislation. We assess eligibility, prepare applications and manage supporting evidence to give clients the best chance of success.

Business Mobility and Employer Support

For organisations moving people between the UK and Spain, we design practical mobility solutions. We obtain and maintain sponsor licences, prepare compliant policies, manage right‑to‑work processes and support international assignments, secondments and intra‑group transfers.

Appeals, Administrative Reviews and Litigation

Where applications are refused or status is threatened, we act swiftly. We prepare administrative reviews, appeals and judicial challenges, and we advise on detention, removal and urgent protection of rights. We also assist with complex records, criminality disclosures and rehabilitation issues that may affect immigration status.

Cross‑Border Strategy

Many clients live, work or study across both jurisdictions. We map the implications of immigration choices for tax, employment, family and property matters, and coordinate with our wider teams to provide joined‑up advice.
