The Nottingham-headquartered UK immigration law firm, OTB Legal, has moved swiftly to further boost the expertise of its personal immigration team, with Laura Ralph joining the firm as Associate Solicitor at its London office.
Laura joins the team in the capital hot on the heels of her new colleague Natasha Mitter, who arrived last week.
Graduating from the University of Essex in 2010 with a First-Class Honours degree in Law and completing the LPC with distinction at the College of Law in 2013, Laura is an experienced and knowledgeable immigration solicitor.
Laura qualified as a solicitor in 2015, practicing exclusively in immigration law for the last decade and has held Senior Caseworker membership under the Law Society’s Immigration and Asylum Accreditation Scheme.
The continued growth of the team at OTB Legal’s London office builds on the momentum of the location being opened last summer, which itself was preceded by the opening of their new Manchester office earlier in 2024.
Commenting on Laura’s appointment, Director Mark Lilley-Tams said: “OTB Legal is in a planned phase of consistent growth and we are delighted to be able to add someone with such focused expertise as Laura to our personal immigration team so soon after welcoming Natasha Mitter. They are both excellent solicitors and will be fantastic assets for us as a firm and for our clients.”
Offering expert legal advice and support from sponsor licences and skilled worker Visas to spouse Visas and citizenship, OTB Legal has grown consistently from its Chase Park headquarters just outside Nottingham.
Commenting on her new role, Laura said: “It is immediately clear on arriving here at OTB Legal that this is a firm that is modern, ambitious and is not afraid to look at things from a fresh perspective. I particularly look forward to bringing my specialist knowledge of family-based applications under Appendix FM to OTB Legal and representing clients with appeals to the immigration tribunal where appropriate.”
