About
Gherson is recognised for its extensive expertise across UK immigration, international protection, human rights and asylum, extradition, INTERPOL matters, white-collar crime, sanctions, litigation and cross-border disputes.
The firm: Established in 1988 as a niche immigration practice, it has developed into a firm known for handling complex and sensitive matters with a considered and strategic approach. Roger Gherson’s dedication to the matters he undertakes ensures the firm delivers both legal excellence and exceptional service.
Types of work undertaken:
Gherson offers over 38 years of experience extending from meeting the migration needs of international business people and UK-based companies, to litigation in all UK jurisdictions and the European Court of Human Rights and the European Court of Justice.
A dedicated business immigration team supports UK and international employers with sponsor licence applications, entry-clearance processes and ongoing compliance in a heavily regulated area where penalties for non-compliance can be substantial.
Gherson has extensive expertise in international protection, human rights and asylum matters, as well as in extradition and INTERPOL issues. In 2013, the firm established an in-house extradition department to offer a complete service. The team advises on extradition strategy, the implications of INTERPOL Red Notices and the impact of proceedings on international travel. It also works with lawyers in multiple jurisdictions, and has coordinated cases linked to proceedings in several European countries.
Alongside this work, the firm advises on white-collar crime matters, including allegations of fraud, bribery and money laundering, particularly where these intersect with immigration, protection or reputation.
Across all areas, Gherson remains committed to delivering effective, carefully considered solutions in even the most challenging circumstances.
