Nottingham based, specialist immigration law firm, Paragon Law
has announced the appointment of Ghuffar Usman as an associate.
With more than 12 years experience advising clients on
immigration law matters, Ghuffar joins Paragon's 55 strong legal
team from Cartwright King Solicitors, where he was previously head
of immigration law for four years.
Known as one of the leading immigration law experts in the East
Midlands, Ghuffar was recognised in the Chambers and Partners
Guides of 2007, 2008 and 2010.
At Paragon Law, Ghuffar will specialise in all aspects of
personal, family and business immigration law, from advising on
initial applications through to appeals to the Immigration and
Asylum Chamber. He will form part of the specialist private
immigration team, advising clients on such matters as employer's
liability and licence applications and Tier 1-4 applications,
through to family visit visa and compassionate/ discretionary
applications outside of the immigration rules.
"In the East Midlands and arguably the UK, it's only natural for
any immigration lawyer to have at least considered a career at
Paragon Law, and be a part of the renowned team that Thalej
Vasishta has built," explains Ghuffar.
"The Legal Services Act will open up the competition in the
legal market from 2012, and I wanted to be part of the team at
Paragon before this time, as it's recognised as a serious player
with the strongest position in the niche sector of
immigration."
Ghuffar's appointment will be followed by the announcement of
several senior level promotions at Paragon Law in the coming
weeks.
Founded in 2003 and with offices in the UK, China and India,
Paragon Law is one the UK's leading immigration law firms, helping
UK companies to employ skilled foreign nationals and advising
overseas companies and individuals seeking to invest or trade with
the UK. Additionally Paragon Law also advises on immigration
outward to China and India.
