Oxford’s Reeds Solicitors launch immigration department

Oxford-based Reeds Solicitors LLP has announced the launch of its new immigration practice, expanding its services to include private immigration work for businesses and individuals.

The department is led by partner Nicola Maynard, supported by consultants Melissa Vangeen and Naina Ukrani.

Ms Maynard said: “This is an exciting new chapter for the firm and I am looking forward to heading this new department.

“In today’s political climate, immigration law has been top of the agenda with a rapidly changing regulatory environment which leads to confusion and panic amongst businesses and individuals. We hope to lighten this anxiety for our clients by guiding them through the various processes available to them, be that for family reunification or for businesses looking to tap in to a global talent base.”

The team will assist with visa applications, deportation, asylum, immigration appeals, and immigration bail services. Reeds Solicitors is a national, award-winning firm named as a Times Best Law Firm and ranked as a Top Tier UK firm in the Legal 500.

Jan Matthews, managing partner at Reeds Solicitors, said: “We wish Nicola and the team the very best in this exciting launch.”

Reeds Solicitors also offers legal services in court of protection, criminal defence, family law, mental health law, motoring law, and prison law.
