Immigration (including business immigration)

Blackstone Chambers

Praised as an ‘extremely strong set for public law work’, the immigration barristers at Blackstone Chambers are frequently involved in high-profile and complex immigration cases, and are particularly well-placed for work at the intersection of immigration, human rights and public law. Multiple members of chambers were highly involved in the litigation surrounding the ill-fated Rwanda policy, with James Eadie KC and Lord Pannick KC acting for the Home Secretary in AAA v SSHD, Jason Pobjoy acting as lead junior in the case representing eleven lead refugee claimants and Charlotte Kilroy representing a claimant charity. Naina Patel recently represented six Afghan claimants in a challenge to the UK government’s ending of a policy of using bridging hotels to accommodate individuals eligible for resettlement under the ARAP scheme upon arrival in the UK.
