Jessie Shepherd

Caseworker

I am a Trainee Solicitor in the Immigration department working under the supervision of Legal 500 Recommended Lawyer and Director, Nazia Khan. I support and experience team of solicitors, trainees and caseworkers in the day-to-day casework, including asylum matters, protection claims, leave to remain applications and unlawful detention challenges. I am working towards accreditation under the Immigration and Asylum Accreditation Scheme (IAAS) which will enable me to handle my own caseload of both publicly funded and private clients. My background includes casework with clients on several resettlement schemes including the United Kingdom Resettlement Scheme (UKRS), Afghan Relocations & Assistance Policy (ARAP) and Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme (ACRS), as well as volunteer work with asylum seekers navigating the UK's asylum process.
