Immigration, Asylum and Free Movement

Immigration and nationality law regulates admission to the United Kingdom for the purpose of family reunion, employment, business, retirement and temporary residence. These traditional areas of national policy and law have been increasingly influenced and directed by developments in EU law, from free movement of persons to rights under association agreements. The influence of international law has been most marked in extensive litigation and legislation concerning asylum, entry clearance, deportation, humanitarian and human rights protection in the United Kingdom under the Refugee Convention, the European Convention on Human Rights and various EU Directives.

The Human Rights Act 1998 has added to the significance of this case work and provided additional grounds to promote respect for family and private life in immigration control.

Matrix members are recognised as leading practitioners in this field, with extensive experience in all areas of immigration law and practice. This leading position has been confirmed by appearances in the groundbreaking cases of the last couple of years.
