Darren Stevenson

Darren has nearly 15 years of experience helping businesses and individuals with their immigration needs.

“I offer creative and practical advice across all areas of UK immigration law. I typically represent UK companies seeking to recruit overseas talent, but I work with individuals too. Clients most value my expertise in navigating difficult and technically complex areas such as sponsor licencing, immigration law after Brexit and British nationality law.

I spent six years working at the Home Office with what was the UK Border Agency before I moved to private practice. This experience allows me to offer a unique and useful perspective to clients. I have played a key role in lobbying efforts to secure changes to the skilled worker immigration route.

I’m proud to have achieved several verdicts which have had a UK-wide impact on immigration law and policy.”

Darren sits part-time as a Judge of the First-Tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) and is a Legal Member of the Parole Board for Scotland. He recently collaborated with Seafish on its Skilled Worker Visa Guide which helps employers navigate the application process to employ non-UK workers.
