Adam Hoefel
Senior Counsel
Adam has over 15 years’ experience advising on all aspects of the UK Immigration system, representing individuals in all categories of visa and permission to stay applications, as well advising businesses on their immigration strategy.
Adam specialises in complex immigration work, advising both individuals and businesses in relation to applications under the Immigration Rules. High net worth individuals come to Adam for his specialist knowledge of applications under Tier 1 of the Immigration Rules, and for his record of achieving successful outcomes for clients in unusual circumstances.
Businesses and institutions wishing to sponsor migrants to work in the UK regularly seek Adam’s assistance to obtain sponsor licences. From start-ups and SMEs to large multinational corporate clients, he advises employers on their ongoing staffing strategy, with the Immigration Rules in mind.
Adam regularly represents individuals applying to naturalise as British citizens. Where clients’ applications fall outside those circumstances set out in the published policy, Adam has significant experience in persuading the Home Office to exercise discretion.
The depth and breadth of Adam’s expertise enable him to find creative and pragmatic solutions in unusual situations, often acting under considerable time constraints and pressure, all the while maintaining a calm and reassuring presence for his clients.
