Immigration Specialist Joins Law Firm in Bristol
We are delighted to welcome immigration specialist Natallie Jones to our Bristol office. Natallie has joined us as a chartered legal executive from Knights, where she handled various types of visa applications, including skilled worker, indefinite leave to remain and British citizenship, as well as sponsor licence applications.
With more than a decade of legal experience, her recent work has included managing large-scale visa projects, supporting clients through mock Home Office audits, conducting training sessions, and advising on sponsor compliance and right to work.
In her new role, Natallie will be supporting our national immigration offering, advising both businesses and individuals on a range of matters.
Natallie said: “I was drawn to Shakespeare Martineau not only because of its reputation in the industry, but also through the strong recommendations from friends who work or have worked here. From my very first conversation with the team, it was clear this is a firm that truly supports its people, both professionally and personally.
“As a parent to a young child, having the flexibility to manage my time through empowered working is invaluable. It means I can be present for my daughter while continuing to grow my legal career in a meaningful way.
“I’m looking forward to deepening my expertise, contributing to a team that values collaboration and client service, and developing within an environment that challenges and supports in equal measure. What I enjoy most about immigration law is that no two cases are ever the same, which constantly pushes you to stay sharp, think creatively and find tailored solutions.”
Our immigration services support a diverse client base ranging from multi-national corporations navigating sponsor licence requirements to private individuals applying for visas and citizenship.
Calum Hanrahan, legal director who leads our business immigration team, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Natallie to the firm. She brings with her a wealth of experience and a client-focused approach that aligns perfectly with our values.
“Her hands-on knowledge of sponsor licence processes, compliance and practical training will be a great asset to our clients and our growing team. I’m particularly pleased that Natallie shares our commitment to flexibility and career progression, and I look forward to seeing her thrive here at Shakespeare Martineau.”
