Our History

The former Immigration Advisory Service was a national charity that provided legal advice and representation under legal aid funding on UK asylum and immigration matters and was the largest organisation in its field. Changes to the legal aid contract that affected all providers, including taking immigration out of scope of funding, meant that the organisation was unable to continue in its existing form, leading to administration in 2011.

The Immigration Advice Service was established in the same year largely to continue the work of the former Immigration Advisory Service, with its immigration arm funded by private fee-paying clients who were no longer eligible for legal aid. In 2013, the Immigration Advice Service secured a legal aid contract, enabling us once again to provide government-funded legal representation in asylum matters and other matters within the scope of the contract.

Over the years, we have grown to provide immigration and emigration services to individuals and companies in various countries.

At IAS, we are extremely proud of our core set of values, which we adhere to at all times. In addition to the fantastic people we have working for us, the ideals that we hold dear are what truly set us apart from most other immigration law companies. Most importantly, we uphold the belief that everyone should be entitled to reliable, professional immigration, and asylum advice.

In addition to providing a high-quality legal service to our clients, we believe in making a real difference in the world around us. We are therefore committed to community and volunteering work, to providing a supportive work environment for our staff, creating opportunities for everyone irrespective of their gender, religious, racial, or social background. We are also keen to contribute to environmental protection goals by minimising our impact on the environment.

Our aim is to be recognized as the leading provider of immigration advice and representation in the UK. For this reason, we are dedicated to providing excellence and quality, exceeding our client’s expectations in all the services we provide.

We do our best to accommodate our clients’ needs. This includes giving you the possibility to cancel our services if you are unhappy with them or if you do not wish to continue to receive our advice.
