Part of Taylor Hampton Solicitors

Taylor Hampton's UK Immigration Practice is part of Taylor Hampton Solicitors, founded on the simple mission to uphold our clients' reputation. We value excellence and professionalism and show this through the continued results achieved with every case we are instructed on.

As recognised by Chambers & Partners in their Defamation/Reputation Management (UK Wide) 2026 rankings and by the Legal 500 for Reputation Management as a "Firm to Watch" in 2026.

Our exceptional achievements include acting for claimants in landmark cases which led to the enactment by Parliament of the "serious harm to reputation" test in the Defamation Act 2013, as well as the pivotal 2019 case of Lachaux v Independent Newspapers in the Supreme Court. This case established the principle that serious harm to reputation should be assessed by reference to the impact that the statement is actually shown to have had. In the realm of privacy law, the firm was involved in the case of Gulati v MGN, which led to hugely increased awards of damages in privacy lawsuits.

Taylor Hampton has also been at the forefront of the phone hacking litigation against News Group Newspapers. This led to the closure of the News of the World newspaper, the initiation of the Leveson Inquiry and the blocking of News Corporation's takeover bid for BSkyB. Additionally, Taylor Hampton played a key role in initiating class actions against Mirror Group Newspapers.

We are proud to represent a diverse range of clients, from A-list celebrities to small businesses, always prioritising their personal and commercial objectives at every stage of the legal process.

Frequently Asked Questions

I want to work in the UK. Can an immigration solicitor in London help me?
Generally, people not from the UK will need a work permit to legally take employment in the UK. The sponsored work visa is only available for workers who have the necessary skills and have been offered a job with a sponsor licence holder company based in the UK. If you want a permit to work in the UK and have a UK job offer, our team will be able to help.
We are a UK business — do your lawyers in London offer immigration services that we can access?
Yes, our team of immigration solicitors has wide experience in corporate immigration law. We offer excellent services for all businesses and companies in the UK. We help British firms with eligibility and acquisition of the Sponsor Licence looking to hire workers from overseas.
Extending a visit visa, can you help?
It is not, technically speaking, possible to extend a visit visa. Some discretionary allowances can be made however, to allow a visitor to extend their stay in exceptional circumstances.
Do I need an appointment to visit your offices?
It is not necessary to attend our offices. However, if you wish to see us, we do ask that you make an appointment before you come at our office.
What fees do you charge?
We operate completely transparently, with pre-agreed fixed fee models. We take time to understand your circumstances and then formulate the best assistance. Following an assessment, you will be given an estimate fee for the whole application process.
What is your success rate?
We are proud to be different and rather than quoting inflated statistics our view is that everyone and every case is different with unique circumstances and so what is important is that we know your case inside out to get the best result for you.
How do I instruct you to work for me?
It is an easy four step process: Contact us for an assessment, provide your instruction for identity checks, be guided through the application process until submission, and finally your application will be decided on by the UKVI.
