I can’t thank Efrat Shemesh and the team at Branch Austin McCormick LLP enough for guiding me through my Global Talent endorsement with Arts Council England. They were professional, prompt and genuinely supportive throughout, and their experience gave me real confidence at every stage, so I’d wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone applying.

I employed Roland Jones of BranchAustinMcCormick to deal with the conveyance of my property. At all times he was pleasant and helpful as well as being extremely efficient. He gave excellent advice in tricky situations that arose and I was impressed by his professionalism. I highly recommend him.

Highly Professional and Exceptional Service!

I had a fantastic experience working with Branch Austin McCormick LLP, specifically with Efrat Shemesh and Lisa Allen-Greenaway, who assisted me with my visa application process.

From start to finish, both Efrat and Lisa demonstrated outstanding expertise and deep knowledge in handling my case. They were extremely thorough, professional, and ensured that everything was executed in a timely and efficient manner. Navigating visa processes can often be stressful, but their guidance, prompt communication, and attentive approach made the entire experience smooth and seamless.

Efrat and Lisa helped me with my spouse visa application.
I've had initial call with Efrat to assess the case, she gave me many tips of what to prepare so we are fully ready at the time of request.
They made sure to make all the process simple and easy for me, they took care of all the details with immigration from A to Z, and I just waited for the approval.

They were always available for question, calls, and always provided professional answers

Thank you so much Efrat and Lisa!

I’ve worked with Efrat Shemesh one of the Partners from Austin McCormick LLP on an Exceptional Talent Visa application. Efrat provided clear guidance on how to write the endorsement request, what to focus on, advised on which people from my network I should seek a recommendation letter from and very importantly provided feedback on the required evidence and what should be excluded as it is either out of scope or irrelevant.


The office kept in close touch and helped me successfully navigate the application process and then kept me informed until I’ve the good news :)

I recommend Austin McCormick LLP and Efrat to anyone applying for a Talent Visa.

I came to Branch Austin McCormick with a genuinely difficult case. I had lived and worked in the UK before Brexit but was absent for eight years — first caring for my seriously ill mother in Australia, then trapped there by Covid. My automatic right to remain had lapsed and the Home Office needed persuading.

Charlotte Catto handled my case with exceptional skill, patience, and empathy. She spent months helping me reconstruct my timeline and transformed my emotional account into a precise, compelling legal submission.

The outcome was a successful discretionary application. I now hold Settled Status and Permanent Right to Work in the UK.

If your situation is complicated — Brexit, long absence, circumstances outside your control — this is the firm you want. They understand the hard cases and they deliver.

As a Sales Progressor, it is really beneficial to be able to keep open communication with solicitors to enable us to keep the chain and buyers and sellers updated. I have worked on several transactions with Sarita Ghere and she has been fantastic on each and every one. She puts the needs of her clients as priority and explains in clear detail everything they need to know and action. She works with agents/sales progressors to ensure the sale process is as straightforward as possible. I highly recommend using Sarita for your sale or purchase.

Working with Robyn Allardice was a pleasure, it was an involved case with both personal and business being involved. With Robyn and Hal Branch's highly professional, detailed, helpful and sympathetic advice, we managed to get the right result. Thank you both and all at Branch Austin McCormick. Highly recommended.

They addressed every enquiry with not only strong technical expertise but also genuine care and reassurance, which gave me great peace of mind.

I am grateful to Charlotte Catto at Branch Austin McCormick for her exceptional support and dedication throughout my business visa case. What initially seemed like a straightforward application turned into a very challenging process after my visa was refused. From that point onward, Charlotte guided me carefully through the administrative review and, subsequently, the appeal process. This was a journey that lasted nearly three years, and during that time Charlotte remained consistently professional, responsive, and reassuring. She took the time to explain each stage clearly, outlined the available options with honesty and precision, and ensured that every submission was thoroughly prepared and well-documented. Her attention to detail and deep understanding of immigration law gave me confidence even during the most uncertain moments. What truly sets Charlotte apart is her persistence and commitment to her clients. She approached my case with determination and care, never losing focus despite the complexity and length of the process. Thanks to her expertise and hard work, I was ultimately successful in securing my visa.
I would not hesitate to recommend Charlotte to anyone seeking reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely supportive immigration legal representation.

Charlotte has assisted us with our Work Visa and dependents’ visas. She has been exceptionally competent, professional, and kind throughout the process. Her proactive approach and clear communication helped our family make well‑informed decisions at every stage.
