- 'Spot on, tailored advice.'
- 'Pragmatic, friendly, and nice to deal with.'
- 'Watson Farley & Williams have provided an amazing service. The immigration lawyers that I worked with were so patient and explained everything thoroughly. No question was a silly question!'
- 'Everyone I had dealings with at Watson and Farley gave excellent service. One person I would like to point out in particular was Elliott Marshall. Even in the most stressful situations, he made me feel at ease. I feel that his patience and dedication was great and something I wouldn’t have got from a previous immigration law firm. I learnt a lot from Elliott!'
- 'The team are professional and personable, and work well with their industry contacts to keep ahead of, and to inform, policy changes to the regulatory framework.'
- 'The team has significant experience in dealing with UK immigration requests. They are timely and provide good cover when other team members are not available.'
