At Glaisyers, Sumita will be responsible for establishing the new immigration practice and building an experienced team around her. She will focus on providing legal advice to employers, colleges and individuals adding a new dimension to the advice that the firm currently offers.

Speaking on her appointment, Sumita said: “I aim to guide clients through the complexities of immigration applications and appeals and to assist businesses and employers in fulfilling their duties to the UK Border Agency.
