With a proven track record and a high success rate, we offer expert legal guidance across a broad range of UK immigration routes — from business and investment to family reunification and British citizenship. Below are our most sought-after services.
Enable your active UK business to sponsor skilled workers from overseas. We assist in demonstrating your organisation’s legitimacy, HR systems, and compliance with Home Office requirements — whether you're a startup or a well-established company.
Establish a new business or acquire shares in an existing UK company and sponsor yourself as a Skilled Worker. This flexible route allows entrepreneurs to live and work in the UK without needing a job offer from a third party.

Reunite with loved ones in the UK. We help partners, spouses, children, and dependants with all aspects of family migration, including documentation and eligibility.
If your application has been refused, we offer expert advice on appeals and Judicial Review. We build strong legal arguments to challenge unjust decisions and protect your rights.
Become a British citizen through naturalisation or registration. We ensure your application meets the residency, language, and good character requirements with full legal support.
Apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain after 10 years of lawful residence in the UK. We help demonstrate continuous residency and compliance with immigration rules.
Stay and work in the UK after completing your studies. This post-study work route allows recent graduates to gain experience without employer sponsorship.

Principal Partner
At Garth Coates Solicitors, we provide expert legal advice and unwavering support across the full spectrum of UK immigration matters. Before qualifying as a solicitor, I worked within the UK Home Office (UKVI) as an Immigration Officer — a role that gave me valuable insight into the inner workings of the immigration system. Since then, I have gone on to represent clients at several of the UK’s most prominent immigration law firms, and later established this firm to deliver a more focused and client-centred approach.
Together with my senior legal team, we bring over 30 years of combined experience in the UK immigration sector. This depth of expertise enables us to successfully handle even the most complex and challenging cases — from visa refusals and Judicial Review proceedings to corporate sponsorships, family reunifications, and permanent settlement applications.
We are proud of our high success rate, earned through strategic thinking, meticulous preparation, and a commitment to delivering results. Our multilingual team of solicitors, caseworkers, and support professionals is well-equipped to serve a global clientele with care, professionalism, and cultural understanding.
At Garth Coates Solicitors, we fight for our clients’ rights and treat each case with the attention and seriousness it deserves. Whether you’re applying for the first time, facing an appeal, or unsure of your options, we are here to guide you with clarity and confidence.
We look forward to assisting you.
