Biography

Roger Gherson founded Gherson Solicitors in 1988, and it subsequently transitioned into a Limited Liability Partnership on 1 April 2022.

With over 40 years in practice, Roger has dedicated himself to advising, assisting and defending individuals requiring international protection in the most complex of circumstances. As such, he is recognised as the ‘go-to lawyer’ for individuals with multifaceted legal issues, and is considered one of the best in the industry for those requiring expert advice on international protection, as well as asylum, extradition, deprivation of leave and travel bans, international investment treaty matters, sanctions, unexplained wealth orders and other forms of asset seizure.

He offers unrivalled expertise, experience and an unparalleled level of defence to individuals facing abusive and unmeritorious proceedings abroad. His experience has touched on a wide range of jurisdictions, including Russia, Ukraine, Italy, Spain, France, Monaco, Switzerland, Italy, Latvia, Cyprus and Germany, to name but a few.

Roger is named as an expert in all the leading legal guides and has a reputation for tenacity, reflected in the firm’s breadth of litigation work, which includes immigration tribunal cases, judicial reviews in the High Courts, as well as appearances at the Special Immigration Appeals Commission and the European Court of Human Rights.

In his management role, Roger leads a significant team of advisors that includes solicitors, barristers, immigration consultants, paralegals, translators and international lawyers. In addition, his expertise covers the full spectrum of business, investor and employment-related immigration, as well as personal immigration matters.
