I’d like to express my sincere gratitude to Charlotte Catto, Senior Associate at Branch Austin McCormick LLP, for her exemplary handling of my ILR application. The case had its share of complexities, but Charlotte’s deep knowledge of immigration law, sharp attention to detail, and strategic approach ensured that every aspect of the application was meticulously presented. Thanks to her thorough preparation, the Home Office had everything it needed to make an informed decision without delays or unnecessary queries. While the decision did take some time, the outcome made the wait completely worthwhile.
I must also extend a special thanks to Efrat Shemesh, who stepped in during Charlotte’s absence after the application was submitted. Efrat took ownership of the case with remarkable professionalism and clarity. Her responsiveness, understanding of the matter, and commitment to continuity made the transition seamless. At no point did it feel like she was merely covering—she was fully engaged, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout.
Together, their combined efforts made a potentially stressful process feel smooth and well-managed. I highly recommend Branch Austin McCormick to anyone seeking expert, compassionate, and detail-driven immigration support.

We approached Branch Austin McCormick LLP for assistance with a spouse visa to the UK. We were fortunate to work with Efrat Shemsh and Ramatu Ibrahim, both of whom were highly professional and incredibly helpful. All communications were prompt and courteous, and throughout the entire process, we felt confident that we were in capable hands. Our case was handled efficiently and in an organized manner, and we are extremely pleased with the outcome.
Thank you, Efrat and Ramatu, for your invaluable assistance in a life-changing decision. We are more than happy to recommend your good services.

I engaged Nadia Moynihan to assist me with an employment issue and could not be happier with her services. The following stand out:
1. She was incredibly empathetic from the get go and made me feel like I had someone who was genuinely on my side, not just a lawyer with a paying client. In stressful situations, that assurance counts for a lot. I should note that I had contacted other lawyers about this case prior to Nadia and some were very dismissive.
2. She created a logical solution for me to pursue a fair resolution to the case, and I was very impressed with how she crafted that solution—it was respectful and helped maintain good relations while clearly and concisely articulating my position. She also knows the specifics of law across various jurisdictions, which makes her particularly helpful for international hires.
3. She gave useful and actionable counsel via email with quick responses to any questions I had.
I would definitely use Nadia again for any disputes I have. I'm lucky to have crossed paths with such an excellent professional.

We had Branch Austin McCormick LLP as our advisors for the process of obtaining sponsorship license and skilled worker visa. Efrat Shemesh lead the entire process from beginning to a very successful end with the highest professional level. Everything worked perfectly and even ahead of time. No details were left unexplained, and the process was communicated and managed perfectly all along the period. I warmly recommend both Efrat and Branch Austin McCormick for their trustworthy attitude and service. We felt in safe hands during the entire process.
