Harbottle & Lewis LLP

Highlighted for striking a balance between ‘the personal feel of a boutique and the depth of a larger City firm’, Harbottle & Lewis LLP is turned to by HNW and high-profile clients for its multi-disciplinary approach and cross-sectoral expertise. Gary Ashford heads the combined private client, tax and immigration department, providing comprehensive private client immigration support. The ’reliable, thorough and responsive’ Sasha Lal handles matters concerning the Global Talent route, EU Settlement Scheme and nationality issues. Another key contact is Poppy Lucas, whose wide-ranging practice spans employment and immigration law. Former head of immigration Sarah Gogan and Charlotte Boyce departed the firm in June 2025.
