Charles Russell Speechlys LLP is noted for its full-service immigration practice, advising across both personal and corporate immigration, and has particular expertise advising clients such as business owners and other HNW and UHNW individuals on establishing in the UK, especially those who previously would have been eligible under the Tier 1 (Investor) route. Praised for the way its departments ‘collaborate seamlessly to deliver comprehensive solutions for clients with sophisticated needs’, the group works closely with the firm’s private tax and private wealth teams to provide a holistic service advice to clients wanting to relocate to the UK. The team also advises on the immigration aspects of a family breakdown, as well as complex child custody and surrogacy matters for international clients. Leading the group, Rose Carey advises on a variety of complex immigration matters for HNW clients and businesspeople, while Kelvin Tanner has a ‘business-savvy mind’ and specialises in all aspects of private client immigration work, with a focus on HNW clients seeking an alternative residence or citizenship. Adam Kyte and Owen Chan are also key figures in the firm for various personal immigration needs.
