Roger Gherson

Spear’s Review

Roger Gherson is certainly a leading figure in the immigration field, with specialisms in tribunals, High Court judicial reviews, and cases at the European Court of Human Rights. commercial, property, tax and litigation law are also notable strengths.

One notable case in which he acted was that of Ukrainian businessman Yuriy Ivanyushchenko, successfully removing his client from the EU Council’s sanctions list. 

Gherson’s eponymous firm was founded in 1988, soon accumulating a large Asian clientele following the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. During that time, Gherson helped many HNWs emigrate from Hong Kong before the 1997 handover to China.
