Hazar El-Chamaa

Spear's Review

A highly regarded member of Penningtons Manches Cooper’s immigration offering, Hazar El-Chamaa advises HNWs and families looking to move to Britain. ‘My role is varied,’ she tells Spear’s. ‘I can have a call from a university dealing with a licence compliance issue, or the agent of a professional sportsperson looking to come to the UK, or an HNW looking to obtain an investor visa.’ A fluent Arabic speaker, she reports an increase in instructions from UHNW families from the region as her practice has developed.

As well as private client work, El-Chamaa also meets regularly with policy chiefs at the Home Office and frequently makes representations on how proposed changes might affect investors and entrepreneurs.

Adviser Profile

Hazar heads the Private Wealth immigration offering at Penningtons Manches Cooper, working closely with highly reputable colleagues in family and private client teams to deliver a holistic service. 

She is currently serving her 2nd year as chair of the Immigration Law Practitioners' Association, a charity dedicated to securing a just and equitable system of immigration, asylum and nationality law. 

Immigration work is never dull and this has certainly been the case over the last 12 months. The sudden closure via Twitter of the Tier 1 Investor route and the overhaul of other economic routes to the UK has meant that Hazar has needed to play to her strengths in finding innovative bespoke solutions to live problems.
