Sheryar Khan: Partner

“Experienced and safe pair of hands; Class act.”

Stephen Knafler QC

“Having worked with Sheryar on a couple of very high profile matters, I can say he is a force to be reckoned with”

Rowan Pennington-Benton

Hard-working lawyer, with an eye to detail who is committed to the welfare and well-being of his clients and provides excellent instructions to the Counsel he is instructing, thus ensuring success at work.

Satiwnder Juss – Professor of Law at King’s College.

Sheryar Khan holds a double bachelor’s degree in engineering and law; graduating with a 2:1 in both. He completed his Bar Vocational Course at the Inns of Court School of Law in 2008 and was subsequently called to the bar by Lincolns Inn in 2009.

Sheryar has worked in UK immigration law for over 14 years and thus has extensive knowledge and experience. Sheryar advises on all aspects of UK immigration, including but not limited to all applications under the points-based system as well as applications for naturalisation, entry clearance, long residency, reconsiderations, EEA, EUSS, judicial reviews, appeals, human rights/fresh claims and asylum.

Sheryar also regularly advises SMEs and larger corporations on Sponsor compliance and has assisted in the management of Sponsor Licences. His clients include multinational companies with more than 10,000 employees and a net worth estimated by Forbes to be more than £ 1 Billion.

Sheryar has regularly been appearing for appeals at the first and upper tribunal and assisted counsel in leading cases such as Secretary of State v Pankina & Others [2010], AS (Afghanistan) & Others v Secretary of State [2009] & RG (Automatic deportation – Section 33(2)(a) exception) Nepal [2010].

He has several reported cases to his credit and his articles on immigration law have been published in various reputable magazines including the Solicitors Journal. He has marshalled for the Honourable Mr Justice Blackburne and the Honourable Mrs Justice Dobbs at the Royal Courts of Justice.

To date, Mr Khan has personally appeared for more than 600 appeal hearings at the First and Upper Tribunal and is involved in matters in the Court of Appeal and the High Court. He has supervised/appeared in the following 15 reported cases, shaping how the Immigration Rules are construed. His most notable case is the recent case of Ahsan v The Secretary of State for the Home Department (Rev 1) [2017] EWCA Civ 2009 where he instructed and worked closely with Mr Stephen Knafler QC and Rowan Pennington Benton.
