Asylum and Human Rights
As well as being one of the leading immigration firms, we also advise regularly on asylum and human rights claims. We offer services for those who are seeking safety in the UK as a refugee or for humanitarian protection.
Working alongside our criminal team, we assist individuals subject to extradition with making asylum claims. You may fear that the charges against you in your home country are politically motivated or that you will be subject to torture, inhumane or degrading conditions if detained following extradition. This can form the basis of an asylum claim.
You may have already decided that you need to claim asylum or make a human rights application. We can advise you about how to proceed and prepare your application.
We also have extensive experience in appeals and judicial reviews against refusals of human rights applications and challenging refusals of asylum claims.
At KC Solicitors, we will help you gather supporting evidence to support your human rights and/or asylum claim. This may include working with experts such as psychologists and psychiatrists to obtain independent evidence.
We understand that the process of claiming asylum can be incredibly stressful. Most of our clients are either new to the UK and do not have English speaking skills. Even if you have spent a number of years in the UK, the asylum process can be very frightening and daunting. We will be with you at every stage of the process, ensuring you understand what is happening.
