About
Rose is a Partner and Head of the Firm’s Immigration group.
Rose specialises in business immigration, and has extensive knowledge in all aspects of immigration. Rose acts for a wide range of multinational enterprises, entrepreneurs and high net worth individuals and advises on personal and corporate immigration matters. Rose as an experienced practitioner is often asked to provide a second opinion on cases and provide advice on cases that have been refused by the Home Office. She has significant experience in dealing with appeals before the First Tier Tribunal and Upper Tribunal and also judicial reviews but prefers a collaborative approach with the Home Office where possible to help find solutions for clients.

She regularly advises clients in relation to their compliance with legislation on preventing illegal working and sponsor licence compliance and provides bespoke training on these issues.
Rose is also a frequent speaker, commentator and trainer on a range of business immigration topics. Rose frequently participates in policy work meeting with the Home Office, submitting evidence to the Migration Advisory Committee and giving evidence to the Home Affairs Select Committee. Rose is also a member of the Lexis PSL Editorial Consulting Board.
In addition to in-bound UK immigration, Rose often works with trusted partner firms in other jurisdictions to help find the right solution for the client and their business.
