Stone King welcomes new Immigration lawyer

National law firm Stone King is delighted to welcome solicitor Sophie Levitt-Hughes to further strengthen its Immigration services. She is based at the firm’s Leeds office and will be responsible for supporting clients with all immigrations issues from sponsorship to individual immigration matters across the firm’s key sectors of Education, Charity and Social Enterprise, Business and Private Client.

Partner Julie Moktadir, who heads the firm’s Immigration team and is based at its Cambridge office, says:

“We’re thrilled to have Sophie in the team. It’s an extremely busy time for us, with the aftermath of Covid and Brexit impacting many of our clients and further changes to Right to Work checks on the horizon in April.” 

She adds:

“We are a national team and we’re delighted to have Sophie based at our Leeds office to strengthen our relationship with clients in the region.”

Prior to Stone King, Sophie provided legal services to clients of immigration law firm Fragoman, having completed her solicitor traineeship at KPMG UK.

Stone King’s Immigration team provides legal support and advice to individuals, businesses, schools, charities and other organisations on all aspects of immigration law, as well as running regular webinars on immigration topics, many of which for free, at stoneking.co.uk/events. 

Alongside other lawyers with immigration and asylum expertise, the Stone King team is continuing to offer expert legal advice as part of the Ukraine Advice Project UK. The support service was set up to provide pro bono advice for refugees to Ukraine nationals following the Russian invasion.
