Bolton firm Asons Solicitors expands into corporate immigration

Asons Solicitors is seeking to diversify and unlock growth with the launch of a corporate immigration division.

The Bolton-based company introduced the new department to target companies, particularly in the Asian and Arabian markets, that wish to transfer personnel and senior executives to roles in the UK.

Naveed Ahmed, a former partner at Manchester-based Rain Gaskell Solicitor, has been taken on to head up the new division.

He commented: “It’s a very exciting time to be a part of the Asons family with major growth plans in the pipeline and the construction of our new £7m state-of-the-art offices.

“Clearly, it’s a visionary company that actively encourages and cultivates new ideas from all of its staff members. A truly inspirational success story which I am proud to be a part of.”

The corporate immigration department will also seek to help overseas entrepreneurs bring their business ideas to the UK, as well as those seeking student visas or temporary contracts.
