The 'approachable, hardworking and engaging' team at Cardiff-based immigration boutique Newfields has quickly gained a foothold in the market since establishing in 2018 as a result of its ability to provide 'pragmatic advice' to businesses, individuals, sporting entities and higher education providers across a range of immigration matters. 'Knowledgeable and highly approachable' founding partner Glyn Lloyd has been pivotal to the firm's success, which has not only experienced rapid growth in Cardiff but also led to the establishment of a new office in Bristol. Although he is active across a range of sectors, Lloyd has perhaps gained most acclaim for his work in the sports field, including for many English Football League clubs on UK and visa immigration matters. Stacey Vaughan-Jones and Samuel Bass (the latter who joined in September 2022 from Duncan Lewis Solicitors) are 'very knowledgeable about all aspects of immigration law', with Bass, in particular, being instrumental in building on public sector relationships, including the firm's role for the Welsh government in relation to EU Settlement Scheme advice.
