Garden Court Chambers is praised as ‘the go-to set for quality advice and representation in immigration law’. The set fields expertise in the full range of claimant-side immigration work including asylum and international protection, human rights, trafficking, family and children and business immigration, including appearing in front of all courts such as the Court of Appeal, the Supreme Court and the European Court of Human Rights. Multiple barristers have notable capabilities handling national security cases before the Special Immigration Appeals Commission. Sonali Naik KC led Mark Symes, Eva Doerr, Isaac Ricca-Richardson, Adrian Berry and Ella Gunn in AAA and others v SSHD, the high-profile challenge to the previous government’s policy of transferring irregular arrivals to Rwanda, in which Ali Bandegani and Raza Halim were also involved in separate teams. Stephanie Harrison KC, Gordon Lee and Alex Schymyck were recently involved in the Brook House Inquiry looking into the mistreatment and abuse of detainees at Brook House Immigration Removal Centre. With extensive experience in cases relating to the Afghanistan Relocation and Assistance Programme, Nicola Braganza KC and Maria Moodie acted for a senior Supreme Court judge (prior to the Taliban’s takeover of the country) in Afghanistan in a judicial review of the refusal to grant settlement under the scheme, and Duran Seddon KC is also active in this space. Gemma Loughran, as was, is now an Upper Tribunal judge.
