With nine years of post-qualification experience (PQE), Nisha has been with the firm since 2019 and has played a pivotal role in handling complex, high-volume immigration matters.

She has attained more than 100 five-star reviews, has worked at the firm since 2019 and has a wealth of experience in the industry.

Nisha said: “I am proud to step into the role of Head of Immigration at Cartwright King Solicitors. Immigration law is about changing lives, and I am committed to leading our team with passion, expertise, and a client-focused approach.

Helping individuals and businesses navigate the complexities of immigration law has always been my passion. I am excited to continue driving excellence at Cartwright King and ensuring that every client receives the highest standard of legal support.”

Nisha became a qualified solicitor at Khan McKenzie Solicitors, where she developed significant experience in appeals to the Immigration Tribunal, Upper Tribunal and High Court matters against various immigration decisions. She also liaised directly with the Secretary of State for the Home Department relating to tribunals.

Since starting at Cartwright King, she has dealt with numerous human rights claims, as well as a wealth of Business Immigration matters.
