Malini brings extensive expertise in UK inbound corporate and personal immigration, with experience across sectors including life sciences, technology, education, family offices and financial services. Her work particularly focuses on UK sponsorship of overseas nationals and other business immigration routes.
She also has a strong reputation in personal and family immigration matters, especially those involving human rights and leave outside the immigration rules. Speaking about her move, Malini said she was ‘delighted to be joining the firm’ and praised its ‘first-class reputation’ and ‘terrific employment law team’.
