On this profile: 31 services described, 8 questions answered, how they work, 1 article, opening hours.
Caveat Solicitors Ltd is a law firm founded in 2011 and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. It has been in practice for around 15 years, operating from offices in London and Harrow, and its team of eight includes solicitors working across family, criminal and immigration law. The firm acts for clients based in London and elsewhere in the UK.
The firm's work is organised around three main areas. In family law, it handles matters relating to children and domestic situations, including care proceedings, special guardianship and cases involving domestic violence. In criminal defence, it covers court advocacy in cases ranging from motoring offences to serious fraud and murder. In immigration law, it advises on a wide range of visa categories, settlement applications, asylum and human rights matters, and business immigration.
Within immigration, the firm publishes a detailed list of services. These include applications for British citizenship by naturalisation or registration, applications by EEA nationals and their family members, and visitor visa applications for tourism, medical treatment or family visits. It also handles applications made under the Points-Based System for work, business and study purposes, spouse and fiancé visa applications, and applications by dependent relatives and children of British citizens or settled persons. Further published services cover UK Ancestry visas, indefinite leave to remain, and routes for Tier 1 Entrepreneur, Start-Up, Innovator and Tier 1 Investor visas, including entry clearance, switching, extension, settlement and dependants' applications under each. The firm also advises on Tier 2 (General) and Tier 2 Minister of Religion routes, Tier 5 applications for charity workers, creative and sporting workers and youth mobility participants, sole representative of overseas business applications, family reunion applications, domestic worker applications, and appeals against immigration decisions. It also operates a free legal helpline offering telephone advice on matters of English law during set hours on weekday mornings.
The firm's client base includes people affected by domestic abuse, families involved in child protection or care proceedings, individuals facing criminal prosecution, and people with immigration or asylum needs. Its published sectors also include modern slavery and safeguarding, reflecting work with people in vulnerable circumstances.
The firm describes a process for immigration matters that begins with reviewing supporting documents, followed by a meeting with the client to understand their situation, taking instructions and providing advice, then preparing and submitting the application, with updates provided on timelines and next steps. Fixed fees are offered as a funding option for some matters, and pricing details are shown elsewhere on this profile. The firm's published material addresses questions on fees, disbursements, VAT and consultation costs, though specific figures are not stated here.
