Immigration and Asylum Appeals in the First Tier Tribunal

Our barristers can give advice regarding most immigration, asylum and nationality matters, including applications to the Home Office and appeals to the First Tier Tribunal, Upper Tribunal and Court of Appeal. Our barristers can also represent you at hearings at any stage of an appeal.

Please note that barristers are not allowed to do legal aid work on a Public Access basis. To help you make an informed decision about whether to apply for legal aid or proceed with Public Access, you can use the legal aid eligibility calculator on the gov.uk website:

Timescales for our services may vary depending on factors such as barristers’ availability, the complexity of your case, the need for additional documents and relevant tribunal directions. As you must appeal a decision within 14 days (from within the UK) or 28 days (from outside the UK) of the date you were sent the decision, please contact the clerks as soon as possible. You may also need advice and/or representation at short notice. If so, please contact the clerks: our barristers will aim to advise you and/or represent you at a hearing where possible.

Please note that the fee ranges are estimates only. The exact fee we charge may vary depending on your needs – for example, your fees may be towards the higher end of the range if you need a more experienced barrister and/or you have a more complex case. If you have a particularly complex case or if the case is urgent, your fees may also be higher than the estimates below. Fees for hearings will also be higher if barristers have to travel long distances for the hearing.

• The Tribunal appeal fee (up to £140 per Appellant);
• Any independent expert reports that may be required to support your appeal (often £500 – £1,500 per report).

All information is correct as of December 2021, but the indicated fees are estimates only. For a quotation, please contact the clerks.
