A little bit about us...
Seraphus is a specialist solicitors firm based in London, UK. After several years of gaining experience and knowhow within some of the largest immigration practices in England, the team at Seraphus decided to work towards a more personalised and modern approach to legal advice. This approach has been successful, as we have had very good feedback from our clients (see their testimonials here) as well as from our regulators. We take our work (and our reputation) very seriously, and this approach has been reflected in success audits and inspections. Seraphus has since been successful in a contract tender with Legal Services Commission, this enables Seraphus to offer legal aid services. Legal aid helps with the costs of legal advice for people who cannot afford it. This means we are able to provide free advice, funded by the Legal Services Commission, to some of the most vulnerable people in the UK, including those seeking asylum. Further assisting our aim to be more than just a business.
