About

The firm was established over 20 years ago and has a holistic and multi-disciplinary practice, with a breadth of knowledge and expertise in complex and fast-changing areas of immigration and human rights law: We specialise in making applications both inside and outside the Immigration Rules, emphasising the right to private and family life as enshrined in Article 8; - We have significant expertise regarding asylum and deportation cases; - We are recognised for our expertise in complex immigration appeals and judicial review; We offer in-depth advice on all aspects of British nationality claims, including complex claims to citizenship for both children and adults born in the UK or abroad; We have a rapidly expanding commercial immigration team, with years of experience supporting individuals and businesses working in the UK, including high-net worth individuals and multinational companies; The firm has seen increased demand for its expertise in navigating the complex EU Settlement Scheme, given that many European nationals find themselves without recourse and without the ability to remain in the UK now that the scheme has closed; We provide a very bespoke service, creating tailor-made applications to meet the high thresholds set by current case law and policies, and using experts from the outset of cases; We collaborate with firms from other disciplines, such as family and criminal law firms, to provide clients with holistic advice; We offer a gender-sensitive interpretation of human rights applications, including asylum applications and adult dependent relative applications – looking at the individual and the particular challenges a client will face against a particular cultural context; We stand out for our expertise in assisting religious minorities, and our understanding of particular circumstances affecting religious minorities in areas of conflict. - Firm ethos Danielle Cohen’s vision for her firm was to create a humane and personalised approach to client care in immigration, having recognised as a practitioner the unnecessary bureaucracy and faceless nature of the immigration system, and the inequality between her clients and government institutions. Danielle wanted to address this imbalance and ensure that every case she accepted would receive a personalised and sensitive approach. The firm operates in accordance with its motto – “more humanity less formality” – and is known for the fair and understanding approach it takes to its clients. Central to the work of the firm is our commitment to ‘front-loading’ applications, going over and above the basic requirements of the Immigration Rules by including the input of expert witnesses and arguing the case at the highest possible level. This both maximises the chances of success for clients from the outset and narrows the possible grounds of refusal, and aims to prevent unnecessary litigation and undue delay. ### Languages - English - Hebrew - Spanish - Italian - French - German - Finnish - Polish ### Memberships - The Law Society - Birmingham Law Society - Immigration Law Practitioners' Association
