“Thank you to the immigration Barrister Zoe Bantleman and Legal Associate Marianne Schonle, superheroes. They make miracles happen. After struggling with previous lawyers and refusals. They filled all the gaps and won the case.”
A. Alolaqi – visit visa refusal and ban overturned following judicial review
“Our new start-up was looking to hire international workers, and Zoe Bantleman carefully and confidently took us through the entire sponsorship process. We were successful in obtaining our sponsorship licence and in our latest hiring round were able to hire a US citizen. Despite substantial time pressure from our end, all the pieces fell into place, and I would not hesitate in recommending Zoe and Richmond Chambers to any kind of business looking to hire international workers. Zoe’s responsiveness via email and proactive attitude were very helpful and reassuring throughout a complicated process.”
Rebecca Cotton-Barratt, Lantern Ventures – Tier 2 (General) Sponsor Licence and Visa
“We hired Zoe Bantleman at relatively short notice to appear at the Upper Tribunal. Apart from achieving the desired result, Zoe demonstrated the finest combination of marshalling information and advocacy which we have ever witnessed. The opposing advocate clearly had no riposte to her. We would recommend Zoe fulsomely and without hesitation to any Instructing Solicitor”.

“Zoe is really friendly, respectable and easy to communicate to, she made us all feel really comfortable on the days of hearing and also gave us confident. Most importantly she was really punctual on both days gave us more than enough time to squeeze in any last minute preparation. She also spent reasonable time after the hearing and gave constructive feedback. We all as a family felt really privileged and appreciated for Richmond Chambers to send Zoe Bantleman to represent my Father in the court. Thank you Zoe Bantleman for the hard work, time and effort.”
Mohsin Tanveer – human rights appeal allowed
“My barrister at Richmond Chambers, Zoe Bantleman, has been really impressive, as a barrister for my husband’s T1 migrant visa. I would say she is definitely a brilliant barrister who has saved us from going through any trouble at all on our road of migration.”
Emily Lee – Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) application granted
“Zoe Bantleman and Marianne Schonle were so fantastic and helpful. I honestly couldn’t have gotten my Tier 1 Exceptional Talent Visa without them. Anything that they weren’t familiar with in my speciality, they researched meticulously and in the end knew my case almost better than myself. Their cover letter was incredible, arguing on my behalf in such an intricate, dedicated way, that gave me the reassurance that there was nothing else I could’ve done to make my case for the Visa. Additionally, they were very fast in responding to any questions, even when I was in a different time zone. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.”
