Our Work with the The European Delegation to the UK
Seraphus is contracted by the European Delegation to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (European Delegation) to provide expert legal advice, analysis, and information on EU citizens’ rights in the UK. This role reflects our longstanding expertise in EU and immigration law, and our ability to bridge policy discussions and frontline support.
Through this partnership, we:

– Deliver accessible resources and updates for EU citizens and the organisations supporting them.
– Provide direct engagement through events, workshops, and advice surgeries across the UK.
– Provide informational content to the website eucitizens.uk
