At HM & Co. Solicitors, we offer expert legal guidance for those seeking to regularise their immigration status in the UK on human rights grounds. These applications are complex and often require experienced legal representation to achieve a successful outcome.
Since 2nd October 2000, the Human Rights Act has incorporated the rights from the European Convention on Human Rights into UK law. This change allows individuals to raise human rights issues in immigration appeals—these arguments are no longer limited to asylum claims alone.
Our services cover:
Applications made before a visa expires, where appropriate
Assistance for parents of British children, who are generally entitled to remain in the UK due to the rights of the child
Applications made from within the UK, without the need to leave the country
We support clients with a wide range of applications based on family and private life, medical issues, or risk of harm on return to their home country.
Human rights law is highly technical and requires detailed legal knowledge. When dealing with cases involving family life, we begin by gathering solid evidence to demonstrate the strength of your family ties in the UK.
Simply stating that you have family here is not sufficient. You will need to provide:
Written statements from family members
Family photographs
Records showing shared finances, housing or caregiving
Attendance of family members at appeal hearings (where applicable)
Once this evidence is collected, we present your case by demonstrating that the strength of your family or private life outweighs the Home Office’s reasons for removal. We will consider all relevant factors, such as:
How long you’ve lived in the UK
Your immigration and criminal history (if any)
Medical conditions and treatment requirements
Cultural or linguistic ties to the UK
Conditions in your country of origin
Delays or failings on the part of the Home Office
Our process begins with understanding your situation:
A confidential consultation in person or by phone to assess your case
A full review of your immigration history and personal circumstances
Preparation of all necessary supporting evidence
Representation in appeals or applications submitted to the Home Office
Ongoing communication and strategic advice throughout your case
We have extensive experience in dealing with complex and high-stakes human rights cases. Our team of immigration solicitors, barristers, and legal advisors are fully trained and committed to helping clients remain in the UK legally.
We understand the pressure and uncertainty that comes with facing removal from the UK—especially when family and livelihood are at risk. That’s why we handle every case with care, precision, and sensitivity.
If you or a loved one needs to stay in the UK on human rights grounds, don’t delay. The sooner we begin preparing your case, the better your chances of success.

Yes, you can. In fact, most human rights applications are submitted from within the UK. However, the circumstances in which a successful application can be made are specific and often complex. Our experienced team at HM & Co. Solicitors can assess your case and advise whether your situation meets the required legal criteria.
Yes, in some cases. The most frequently relied upon human right is the right to family life. If removing you from the UK would unjustly separate you from close family members—particularly children or a spouse—this can form the basis of a strong human rights claim.
Possibly. If you’ve lived in the UK continuously for 20 years or more, you may qualify under the long residence rule, even without lawful immigration status. If your time in the UK is less than 20 years, you may still be eligible depending on your personal circumstances, such as family ties or medical needs.
Yes. While many people in this situation apply for asylum, you may also be eligible to make a human rights claim. These types of claims often overlap, particularly when removal would expose you to inhumane or degrading treatment. Our solicitors can explain whether a standalone human rights application, an asylum claim, or a combined approach is best for your case.
The most frequently used rights include:
Article 8 – Right to Private and Family Life: Especially relevant for applicants with British children or partners.
Article 3 – Protection from Inhumane Treatment: Applied where returning to your country of origin could expose you to serious harm or ill-treatment.
At HM & Co. Solicitors, we offer clear, compassionate legal guidance to those seeking to remain in the UK on human rights grounds. If you think your case may qualify, contact us for a confidential and no-obligation discussion.
