One of the best immigration solicitors in London
We’ve worked with Tanya Laidlaw for a number of years, and every time we turn to her for advice or assistance, she is responsive, exceptionally clear, and unfailingly supportive. Most recently, Tanya guided us through the process of applying for a Sponsorship Licence — her instructions were precise, her knowledge reassuring, and the outcome truly impressive: we received the licence within just five working days of submission.
Tanya has a rare combination of legal expertise and a personal touch that makes all the difference. She takes the time to understand the needs of our organisation and always communicates with warmth, clarity, and confidence.
Tanya — thank you once again for your professionalism and care. It’s a pleasure working with you, and we look forward to many more years of collaboration.

Student visa support
I am incredibly grateful to Tanya Laidlaw for her exceptional support in securing a child student visa for my client. From the outset, Tanya was not only professional and deeply knowledgeable but also genuinely kind, responsive, and reassuring—something I especially appreciated during a stressful and uncertain process.
Although we paid for priority service, the decision was delayed due to further Home Office enquiries, and we were unsure whether the visa would be granted in time. Tanya handled everything with great care and determination, always keeping us informed and doing everything possible to move the application forward.
In the end, the visa was granted just one day before the child was due to travel home—a huge relief and a testament to Tanya’s commitment and attention to detail. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She’s someone who truly cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to support them.

Ukrainian Scheme to an Unmarried Partner visa
Absolutely Outstanding Support – Highly Recommend Tanya Laidlaw
We applied to switch from the Ukrainian Scheme to an Unmarried Partner visa – a process with several complexities and emotional weight. However, thanks to Tanya's exceptional support, deep expertise, and genuine care, we received the visa within just one working day. We are absolutely thrilled and immensely grateful.
Tanya is incredibly professional, kind, and knowledgeable. She has a remarkable ability to simplify even the most challenging situations, offering not only legal clarity but also a calming presence and heartfelt support throughout. Her attention to detail and reassuring communication made all the difference.
It’s rare to come across someone who combines legal excellence with such a compassionate approach. We couldn’t have done it without her, and we felt truly supported every step of the way.
Thank you, Tanya – you made what seemed overwhelming feel smooth, achievable, and even empowering. We will always be thankful.

Very helpful and friendly
We are a Dutch company that works with contractors in the UK. We provide equipment and send our employees to service and maintain it on short-term shifts. The UK immigration system was unclear to us, so we approached Tanya for guidance.
Tanya was incredibly helpful—she explained the requirements clearly, advised us throughout the process, and successfully helped us obtain two visitor visas for Ukrainian nationals. She also provided up-to-date advice on the new rules for European nationals traveling to the UK.
We were impressed by her professionalism, responsiveness, and in-depth knowledge. We would highly recommend Tanya to anyone needing UK immigration advice or visa assistance.
One thing is certain, if we need help with immigration again, we will come back to Tanya!

Emergency Visa Switch
I can't recommend Tanya highly enough! When I found myself in an urgent situation needing to transfer my spouse visa to a work-sponsored visa, Tanya was an absolute lifesaver. From our first meeting, she was incredibly comforting, walking me through every step with clarity and compassion. She was thorough in handling all the necessary paperwork, ensuring everything was accurate and submitted promptly, which made a stressful situation feel so much more manageable. Her efficiency and expertise with working with my employer helped me achieve a successful outcome in less than two months!

Thank you so much!
We had the pleasure of working with Tanya Laidlaw recently when submitting an application for settled status as a husband of a qualified British national. The process was complex, as it involved a combination of European legislation and British immigration rules. Tanya's expertise and attention to detail made all the difference.
From the very beginning, Tanya demonstrated a deep understanding of the legal framework and guided us through each step with clarity and professionalism. Her advice was thorough, and she ensured that all our documents were in order, making the process much smoother than we anticipated.
Tanya's commitment to her clients is truly exceptional. She was always available to answer our questions and provided reassurance during what could have been a stressful process. Thanks to her expert guidance, we felt confident and well-prepared throughout the application process.
We highly recommend Tanya Laidlaw to anyone navigating the complexities of immigration law. Her knowledge, professionalism, and personal approach are invaluable.

Successful Application with Tanya
Tanya has assisted me with applying for a Spouse Visa after an unsuccessful application for a different visa with a different solicitor. I have reached out to her for a consultation where she outlined various options under my circumstances. We have worked together to gather all the documents and apply - she was very helpful and easy to contact over email and WhatsApp throughout, outlining all the information I needed to know at every step in a clear and timely manner. I would highly recommend Tanya and would certainly use her services again myself.
