Latitude Law—Natasha Willett & Mohammed Hafejee

Double partner promotion at Manchester immigration law firm
Latitude Law, a specialist immigration law firm headquartered in Manchester, has announced the promotion of Natasha Willett and Mohammed Hafejee to the position of partner.  

Natasha Willett (pictured) joined the firm in 2014 and qualified as a solicitor in 2017. She has risen swiftly through the ranks, achieving partnership just eight years after qualification.

While Natasha advises across all UK-inbound immigration routes, she has particular expertise in business immigration. She has significant experience advising on non-sponsored work routes and on sponsor compliance, particularly in the context of mergers and acquisitions. Natasha is also an accomplished litigator and frequently handles family immigration matters. As head of training and development, she is committed to mentoring junior colleagues and embedding a culture of continuous learning.

Mohammed Hafejee joined Latitude Law as a solicitor in 2021. He specialises in supporting high-net-worth individuals and entrepreneurs to achieve their personal and business goals in the UK. He has particular expertise in securing visas for international sportspersons and individuals recognised for exceptional talent or promise.
 
Managing partner Gary McIndoe commented: 'These promotions reflect the outstanding contributions Natasha and Mohammed have made to Latitude Law. Immigration is all we do – and both bring a wealth of expertise, leadership, and commercial acumen to our senior team. We’re excited to see them continue to elevate the firm’s profile and deliver exceptional service to our clients.'
