Biography

Managing Partner and Founder of Sport and Business Immigration specialist firm Newfields. As one of the UK's largest exclusive immigration practices ranked by all independent legal directories, Newfields' dedicated sport team boasts a national portfolio of high-profile sporting clients, including all rugby league clubs in the UK, the majority of the country's Premiership rugby union clubs, and almost a third of clubs competing in the English Football League. We advise sporting governing bodies, clubs and athletes on all UK immigration routes, settlement and citizenship, including the duties clubs must meet to ensure immigration compliance. The firm is instructed annually to secure outbound visas to enable athlete participation in overseas competitions and international tours. Beyond sport, Newfields' Public Sector team provides advice and delivers immigration services on behalf of devolved government and public bodies, and its Health team (the only dedicated specialism of its type in the UK) supports hospitals, care homes, medical and health workers, and global retailers operating in the sector. The firm is recognised in 'Chambers & Partners' and 'Legal 500', and Glyn is referenced in both. The firm has won multiple national awards.
