Some barristers in the Renaissance Chambers immigration team can be instructed directly by members of the public under the Bar Council’s public access scheme. Download the Bar Council’s guide to the public access scheme here if you would like to know more about how the scheme works.
The blog
The main purposes of the Free Movement blog are to help the editor and other contributors think through new developments and also to provide updates, pointers and links for the benefit of other immigration lawyers and for migrants researching their own position.
You can subscribe to the blog by email or by RSS feed through the panel on the right hand side. Emails are sent out a maximum of once per day, but in fact rarely more than two or three times per week.
Guest posts
The Free Movement blog does publish guest posts from time to time. If you are interested in submitting a post for publication please email the editor. You may also be interested to read the blog’s contributor guidelines.
