Immigration

Maxima Legal offers bespoke immigration advice and assistance to individuals wishing to relocate.

At Maxima Legal we understand that relocating to another country can be a stressful process. Our purpose is to assist and guide clients through the requirements and oddities of immigration rules so that obtaining permission to enter another country is as straightforward as possible.

Participation in ILN, as well as a well-established professional network, which includes legal firms from England, Germany, France, Scandinavian and other Central and East European countries, USA, other countries of American, Asian-Pacific and African regions, helps Maxima Legal to provide service to our clients on immigration questions in different jurisdictions. Our lawyer, Robert Houchill, has over five years’ experience of working in the legal profession in England and has extensive experience of advising on UK immigration and nationality matters (see here).

Assistance with Immigration matters for the United Kingdom

Our instructions typically begin with advising on a client’s potential eligibility to obtain permission to enter another country, for example, for temporary employment or to relocate permanently.

For those seeking to enter the UK as investors and entrepreneur (under the Tier 1 (Investor) and Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) categories), we work closely with private banks and tax advisors to help clients move and manage their money and also to comply with the terms of their visas.

  • supporting entrepreneurs who wish to relocate and work in the UK and other jurisdictions;
  • advising and assisting investors who wish to make an investment of at least £2 million in the UK for the purpose of obtaining residency and, potentially thereafter, British citizenship;
  • helping businesses seeking to enter the UK to establish a UK branch of an overseas business;
  • advising individuals who have received refusals of entry to the UK and other countries on the potential next steps to challenge such a decision;
  • collaborating closely with private banks and financial advisors to ensure that our clients’ money is protected and managed well;
  • helping clients to establish themselves overseas, for example, with legal assistance when purchasing property and establishing businesses in foreign jurisdictions.
