Partner - Immigration

Manchester, London or Reading

Orwins is expanding and we are looking for an experienced immigration lawyer to join us at partner level — bringing specialist expertise into a firm that is growing fast and thinking big.

We do law differently — focused on building genuine, lasting relationships with our clients and delivering advice that makes a real difference to their lives and businesses. Immigration law is a priority growth area for us, reflecting the needs of our client base — from businesses navigating right-to-work and sponsorship obligations to individuals and families seeking visas, settlement and citizenship.

What This Looks Like

• Building and leading the firm's immigration practice — advising business and private clients on the full range of UK immigration matters.
• Advising employers on sponsor licence applications, compliance, right-to-work obligations and skilled worker visa applications.
• Supporting individual and family clients on visas, settlement, British citizenship, appeals and judicial review.
• Working closely with the employment and private client teams on matters where immigration intersects with employment law and personal affairs.
• Developing a client base within a firm that is growing nationally and has a genuine appetite to invest in immigration as a standalone practice.

What We Are Looking For

An experienced immigration lawyer with strong technical knowledge across business and/or personal immigration, an established or developing client base, and the drive to build a practice that punches above its weight within a growing national firm.

What You Will Get

At Orwins, we invest in our people just as much as our future. Our future is our people. This is a firm where your voice is heard, your contribution is recognised, and your development is taken seriously — not just talked about.

You will get genuine access to our C-Suite, senior partners, leaders, experts and clients from day one, working closely with a team that values expertise, supports each other and takes pride in doing things well. We are growing fast, and the people who join us will grow with us too.

• A competitive remuneration package, commensurate with your experience and the firm’s growth plans
• 25 days annual leave, plus bank holidays and your birthday off — increasing with service
• Private Medical Insurance through Vitality
• Cash plan through Medicash
• EAP scheme (open to family members)
• Referral bonuses
• Enhanced wellbeing and family-friendly policies
• Salary sacrifice pension through NEST
• Hybrid working — we trust you to know where you do your best work
