Priya Solanki is a sought–after barrister practising at One Pump Court Chambers. She has over 15 years’ experience. She has an extensive practice in all areas of immigration (including business immigration), asylum, deportation, trafficking, unlawful detention and EUSS applications. She regularly provides in-house training, seminars and webinars for Immigration Law Practitioners Association, Data Law and other organisations.  She has delivered extensive training on the topic of domestic violence in immigration law, including on the extensive changes recently introduced by the MVDA and Appendix Victims of Domestic Abuse.
Priya also has a particular interest in and vast experience of cases involving gender–based violence and vulnerable clients. She is a popular choice for solicitors looking to instruct counsel in DV cases and is considered as creative in her approach to these claims.  
Prior to coming to the Bar, Priya practised in immigration and asylum law as a supervisor and senior caseworker at a not-for-profit organisation. This gives her the great advantage of being able to assist with case preparation before cases reach appeal stage. This combined with her extensive advocacy experience makes her a popular choice for both clients and instructing solicitors. She is ranked Leading Junior barrister in immigration by the Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners. The Directories state that “Priya is dedicated, highly committed, excellent with clients”, “she has a passion for this area of work particularly in working for vulnerable survivors of domestic violence and trafficking”, “she is very knowledgeable and responsive and her advocacy is fantastic” and “she is always up to speed with the latest legal developments and is very good at assisting with the strategy of cases before the litigation stage is reached.”
Priya has been appointed as a Deputy Upper Tribunal Judge (Immigration and Asylum Chamber). Priya is also an Independent Funding Adjudicator for the Legal Aid Agency and the Co-Chair of the Legal Aid Agency Review Panel. She carries out these roles part-time alongside her work at the Bar.

I am a Barrister specialising in Immigration, Asylum and Human Rights Law at No8 Chambers, Birmingham. I provide regular updates on the law via Youtube, Social Media, Seminars and Conferences.
