Davenport Solicitors is a specialist employment and immigration law firm based in the City of London.
We help businesses of all sizes, from large corporates to SMEs and start-ups, as well as HR professionals, on all aspects of employment law and business immigration.
Davenport Solicitors was founded in 2013 by Vandana Dass, a specialist corporate immigration and HR/employment law solicitor with vast experience in helping businesses.
Clients come to her because she makes HR/employment law accessible. Vandana’s strong leadership skills and business ethics drive her and her team to provide a highly personal, first class service to all the firm’s clients. She aims to ensure her clients have the essential HR structures in place and access to expert legal advice allied to sound commercial thinking when problems arise.
Vandana believes HR issues prevent many businesses from operating efficiently, causing stress and unnecessary distraction to their owners. Unfortunately, as many businesses lack the resources and infrastructure of large organisations, they can be reluctant to take legal advice.
Davenport Solicitors eradicates this problem by making expert and commercially astute legal advice easily accessible. We take the stress out of your HR and employment law issues so that you can focus on running and growing your business.
Our business immigration team has extensive experience and expertise in helping overseas organisations and individuals set up their operation and live and work in the UK. We are specialist in sponsorship licence applications and provide support and guidance to businesses looking to hire talent from outside the UK.
“Vandana was very professional and helpful in taking a stressful matter and making the process straightforward. The outcome was positive which made it even better. On top of that she was kind and friendly. It was a pleasure dealing with her and Davenport Solicitors.”
The firm has grown since it was founded, and our clients now include SMEs, larger corporates, professional firms and start-ups.
Our vision remains the same, regardless of who we are acting for or the sector you are in: to use our extensive legal and commercial experience to give you expert HR, employment and immigration advice at every stage of your business journey.
