Goldsmith Chambers are pleased to announce that a number of members of chambers have been successfully ranked in the Legal 500 2018, and for the first time, the immigration team as a whole has been recommended in Band 4.
We would like to congratulate the following:
IMMIGRATION (INCLUDING BUSINESS IMMIGRATION)
TEAM – BAND 4 – “Goldsmith Chambers is considered ‘an up-and-coming set for immigration and asylum work, with a number of very capable barristers’. Charlotte Bayati was part of a team instructed on an appeal to the Supreme Court which considered how the test of reasonableness should be applied when determining the removal of a child who has been resident in the UK for seven years or more. In a separate appeal, Guy Davison was instructed in case that considered the status and level of criminality required to tip the balance towards the removal of an individual from the UK.”
