Webinar: An Introduction to Immigration Appeals

Taking a case to the immigration tribunal can be an overwhelming, time-consuming and costly process for clients. The immigration appeals process is complex, and for practitioners with limited tribunal experience, it can be daunting.

In this webinar, barrister Sanaz Saifolahi will provide a clear overview of the appeals process, sharing her expertise and top tips on:

• lodging an appeal and grounds
• instructing Counsel
• compiling bundles and drafting Appeal Skeleton Arguments
• Respondent Reviews
• instructing experts
• drafting witness statements
• pre-hearing applications and the appeal hearing itself

From the point of refusal all the way to the final Tribunal decision, this webinar will cover each stage of the process, equipping you with the knowledge and skills needed to handle immigration appeals with confidence.
