Can I instruct you directly?
Yes. Direct Access means you come straight to me—faster strategy, fewer duplicated fees. If your case needs a solicitor, I’ll say so and add one.
I’ve been refused—what now?
Move fast. Deadlines are tight. Bring the decision letter and your full application pack; I’ll call the right route—appeal, admin review, or JR—and map the next steps.
Can you stop removal or fight detention urgently?
If the grounds are there, yes. We go pre-action first; then urgent injunction/JR if justified. Urgency alone isn’t enough—you still need evidence
We’re an SME—how do we hire under Skilled Worker without headaches?
Build the compliance spine first. Real RTW checks, absence tracking, timely reporting, genuine roles with correct codes/salaries. I set it up, train HR, and audit so you’re raid-ready
Global Talent, Innovator Founder, or Self-Sponsorship — which route fits?
Pick the one that matches your facts, not your wish list.
Global Talent: you have a recognised track record (awards, published work, notable impact) and can evidence it.
Innovator Founder: a new, scalable UK business with credible traction, governance, and an endorsement.
Self-Sponsorship: your UK company holds a Sponsor Licence and hires you into a genuine skilled role at the correct salary.
I’ll run a fast eligibility check and map the cleanest path (and sequence) so you don’t burn time on the wrong route.
Our Sponsor Licence is suspended or at risk — what now?
Stabilise first, then fix.
Pause non-essential CoS activity.
Audit RTW checks, reporting history, record-keeping, and HR systems.
Document every remedial step (training, policy updates, governance changes).
Prepare clear representations within the deadline; challenge only if it’s defensible.
If revocation is on the table, we assess whether to remediate and re-apply later or to challenge the decision. No spin—just the route that actually works.
