Glaisyers Solicitors LLP, has launched a new immigration service to both businesses and individuals, responding to the specific needs of the region.

Headed by immigration solicitor, Sumita Gupta, the new department will offer advice to employers, education providers and individuals about immigration law.

Chris Bryan, managing partner of the Longsight office comments: "We have seen a growing need for this type of niche service for both individuals and employers.

“An immigration law specialist like Sumita is a rarity in a law firm, and we believe she will be an extremely valuable addition to our team.”

At Glaisyers, Sumita will be responsible for establishing the new immigration practice and building an experienced team around her. She will focus on providing legal advice to employers, colleges and individuals adding a new dimension to the advice that the firm currently offers.

Speaking on her appointment, Sumita said: “I aim to guide clients through the complexities of immigration applications and appeals and to assist businesses and employers in fulfilling their duties to the UK Border Agency.

“The new department complements the existing legal services offered by Glaisyers and will offer the same pragmatic and cost-effective advice.”
