Pinoy lawyers, para sa'yo.

Lawyery's connection to the Filipino community is not a marketing line. It is who we are. Our team includes Filipino solicitors and the daughters and sons of Filipino migrants, advising in English, Tagalog and Illocano, on the legal issues that matter most to Filipinos in the UK.

Language

Advice in Tagalog and Illocano.

Solicitor Chris Quebral, originally from the Philippines, advises in English, Tagalog and Illocano from our Slough branch, serving the Thames Valley Filipino community.

Lived experience

We know the journey personally.

Solicitor Micah Lee is the daughter of Filipino NHS nurses. The healthcare worker's path to the UK is her family's own story, and it shows in how she runs those cases.

How we help

The legal issues Filipinos in the UK actually face.

Healthcare workers

Nurses, carers, allied health professionals

Health and Care Worker visas, Skilled Worker sponsorship, settlement and family reunification for healthcare professionals. Note that since 22 July 2025 new care worker recruitment from overseas has closed, but nurses and other eligible roles remain open and transitional arrangements protect many workers already here. If you are unsure where you stand, ask us before you act.

Divorce from the Philippines

Filipinos married under Philippine law

The Philippines does not provide for divorce for most couples, but Filipinos living in England and Wales can divorce here under English law. We handle these proceedings regularly, including the financial and child arrangements that follow, and we understand the cultural weight this decision carries.

NMC defence for nurses

Nurses facing fitness to practise proceedings

An NMC referral threatens your registration, your visa and your family's future all at once. Led by Crystal Dias, we defend nurses in fitness to practise proceedings and manage the immigration consequences at the same time, because for a sponsored nurse the two cannot be separated.

Family immigration

Spouses, children, dependants

Bringing your spouse or children to the UK, sole responsibility cases, settlement and British citizenship. We know the documents Philippine authorities issue and how to present them to the Home Office.

Domestic workers and modern slavery

Vulnerable workers

Overseas domestic worker visas and cases involving exploitation, trafficking and modern slavery. Crystal Dias is a recognised advocate for migrant workers' rights and handles these cases personally.

Filipino businesses

Restaurants, care agencies, employers

Sponsor licences and compliance for Filipino owned businesses in the UK, including a strong track record with restaurants and hospitality. If you want to bring Filipino talent to your kitchen or your workforce, we know the route. SponsorServe, our fixed fee sponsor licence package, launches soon.
