Freeths has recruited a team of immigration law specialists from Simpson Millar.
Emma Brooksbank joins the Freeths Leeds office as a partner, where she will lead the team of immigration law specialists that she has worked with for several years.
Brooksbank has more than 10 years of experience, particularly in advising investor and entrepreneur clients and guiding businesses and public sector organisations through the system to achieve the recruitment of overseas staff.
Joining Brooksbank in Leeds is Ashley Stothard, an immigration executive, and Irum Saleem as a legal assistant.
Stothard is a qualified paralegal and advises on all areas of immigration law, with particular expertise in securing British citizenship in complex registration and naturalisation cases.

The final new appointment at Freeths is Arshia Hashmi as a solicitor based in Manchester.
