What your fixed fee does and doesn't cover
The advertised fixed fee covers the standard legal work specifically described in this package. It does not include third-party costs, translations, interpreters, expert reports, counsel/advocate/barrister fees or substantial additional work outside the agreed scope unless expressly stated.
Additional work arising after submission, including correspondence or complaints concerning Home Office delays, is not automatically included in the fixed fee. We may undertake such work without additional charge at our discretion, but where substantial additional work is required a separate fee may apply.
This fixed fee is for standard applications. If your business has had a previous sponsor licence refusal, suspension or revocation, past compliance action, or any other complicating history, please book a consultation first. These cases may need additional work and a separate quotation, and we'll recommend the right route.

Anj Hawken: “Words cannot express the gratitude I have for Alexander. After having a terrible experience with former lawyers and a failed visa application, Alexander immediately put everything at ease. He is truly professional, empathetic and extremely hard working. His commutations and correspondence are outstanding. I like to ask a lot of questions and every single one of them was answered promptly and professionally. I will continue to use his services for any immigration matters that I will face in the future. Again, Thank you so much for everything.“
