Expert Immigration Solicitors Across the UK
Whether you are applying for a visa for the first time, renewing your leave to remain, bringing a family member to the UK, or facing removal proceedings, Reeds Solicitors has the knowledge to help you through this challenging process.
Our immigration solicitors work with individuals, families, and businesses in England and Wales. We handle everything from simple skilled worker visa applications to complex asylum cases and immigration tribunal appeals. We always prioritise clear communication and practical advice.
Immigration Solicitors for Individuals:
Immigration rules change constantly, and the Home Office enforces them strictly. A well-prepared application, with the right evidence and a solicitor who understands current requirements, can greatly affect the outcome. We’ve seen too many clients approach us after a refused application that could have been avoided with proper legal advice from the start.
Whatever your situation is, we will provide an honest assessment of your options, explain the risks involved, and represent your interests throughout the process.
Immigration Advice for Employers and Businesses:
Our business immigration solicitors assist employers of all sizes: from small businesses applying for their first sponsor licence to larger organisations managing ongoing right to work compliance. We provide guidance throughout the business immigration process, from the initial application to the day-to-day management responsibilities of being an approved sponsor.
Compliance failures can lead to suspension or revocation of your licence, civil penalties for right to work violations and, in serious cases, criminal liability. We help you understand your duties from the start to avoid unpleasant surprises.
If your sponsor licence is under scrutiny from the Home Office or if you’ve received a compliance visit notice, please contact us immediately. Early intervention by a specialist immigration solicitor can significantly impact the outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions
Fees depend on the matter’s type and complexity. At Reeds, we offer fixed fees when possible, so you know the cost before you proceed. You’ll receive a clear estimate during your initial consultation, and we won’t do extra work without your approval.
You are not legally required to use a solicitor for most immigration applications, and some straightforward cases are handled without one. However, immigration rules are complex, often changing, and strictly enforced. A single error in your evidence can lead to refusal. If your situation has any complexities—like previous refusals, gaps in your immigration history, a criminal record, or unusual employment arrangements—professional advice is highly recommended. The cost of making a mistake is usually much higher than getting it right the first time.
A refusal doesn’t have to be the end. Depending on the application type and the reason for refusal, you might qualify for an administrative review, an appeal to the First-tier Tribunal, or you may be able to file a new application with stronger evidence. The options available to you and the deadlines depend on your specific circumstances. Contact us right after receiving a refusal notice so we can assess your options before any appeal deadlines pass.
Processing times vary widely depending on the application type and location. UK Visas and Immigration shares service standards, but these are not guarantees.
Yes. Deportation and removal cases are among the most serious matters we handle.. If you or someone you know is facing deportation, removal or immigration detention, it is important to seek legal advice immediately. We can advise on the grounds for challenging deportation, make bail applications where appropriate, and represent clients at the immigration tribunal.
Yes. Some immigration situations require urgent action — including imminent removals, detention, and time-critical appeals. If you have a deadline approaching or are in immigration detention, please contact us as soon as possible so we can advise on what can be done.
Legal aid is available for a limited range of immigration matters, primarily those involving asylum and human rights applications, and certain domestic violence cases. Not all immigration advice is covered by legal aid. We can clarify whether legal aid may apply to your circumstances during your initial consultation.
Every immigration matter is unique. From the moment you contact Reeds, we focus on understanding your specific situation before advising on the best course of action.
- Initial consultation: We start with a confidential consultation by phone, video, or in person. We gather information about your circumstances, immigration history, and goals. You will speak with a qualified member of our immigration team
- Clear advice and a realistic assessment: We evaluate your options honestly. We explain which immigration route fits best, what supporting evidence is needed, the likely timeline, and any risks or complications we see upfront. If something might be challenging, we’ll let you know right away.
- Preparing a strong application: Our solicitors carefully prepare applications. This involves reviewing your documents, identifying any gaps in evidence, and presenting your case clearly to the Home Office or tribunal. Cutting corners here rarely pays off.
- Keeping you informed: We understand how stressful it can be to wait for a decision, especially when your future in the UK is at stake. We will keep you updated throughout the process and are available to answer questions at any time.
- Support beyond the decision: Whether your application is granted or, in case of a refusal, you need to consider an appeal or another route, we will support you beyond the immediate outcome. Many clients return to us as their situations evolve and their immigration journey continues.
