International Protection & Exceptional Cases

In such circumstances, an application for political asylum (or for another protected characteristic) might be the most appropriate route for someone to settle in the UK. The team at Payne Hicks Beach are leaders in their field. We understand politics and diplomacy at the highest levels and are able to translate complex situations on the ground into a legal application to the Home Office or court if needs be. We have extensive networks within strategic communications, lobbying and business intelligence firms whom we work with where required.

We also have experience of working within exceptional circumstances and preparing challenges to the removal of individuals’ British citizenship by the Home Office, those detained abroad in breach of their human rights (thereby prevented access to the UK), and individuals who have been defamed  and the negative impact on their reputation is impacting their immigration status.
