Travers Smith LLP
The business immigration team of Travers Smith LLP is couched within the wider offering, providing an integrated global mobility offering for the firm’s high-profile financial service clients; able to draw on the tax and regulatory offering of the firm, the team is well-placed to assist in global business structuring and relocation mandates. Ed Mills heads the practice, drawing on his immigration and employment expertise primarily in advising US-based companies setting up London offices. Siân Keall, Tim Gilbert, and Adam Wyman similarly bring combined immigration and employment expertise, while senior associate Moji Oyediran focusses solely on immigration matters.
