Pat Saini

Spear's Review

Immigration lawyer Pat Saini tells Spear's that becoming a ‘trusted adviser’ to her clients means spending time getting to know them, while building a thorough understanding of their family and business needs. ‘Clients and advisers approach my team because we get the job done,’ she says. ‘They know they can just pick up the phone at any time, have a conversation and work out a pragmatic solution to the problem at hand.’

Saini’s practice includes providing immigration solutions to HNWs, in particular those applying for Tier 1 investor and global exceptional talent visas. She also advises educational establishments on immigration matters, including challenging decisions to suspend or revoke sponsor licences. She uses her network of contacts across various government departments to meet her clients’ needs.
