Laura Devine

Laura Devine launched LDS in June 2003. Previously Laura established the immigration practice at Coopers & Lybrand (now PWC) in 1990 and headed the London immigration team at Eversheds, which she successfully developed as a joint venture in 1996 until transferring the entire practice to LDS.

Today LDS is recognised by all major legal directories as a pre-eminant immigration practice, ranked in 'band 1'.

The firm is distinguished for its "sheer number of first class practitioners" with incredible knowledge of immigration legislation; Laura Devine is a "real star" in the field, Sophie Barrett-Brown's "knowledge of the points based system is second to none" and Anastasia Tonello "superb knowledge on complex US law".
