Deportation Solicitors – Expert Legal Help for Challenging Removal from the UK

Specialist Support in Challenging Deportation Orders

Deportation from the UK is a serious legal action that can have life-changing consequences for individuals and their families. It typically applies to non-British nationals who are considered by the Home Office to pose a risk to public safety or have breached immigration laws. If you or a loved one is facing removal, timely legal representation is essential.

At Connaught Law, our immigration and human rights solicitors provide robust legal defence against deportation orders. We offer tailored advice, prepare urgent representations, and pursue all available legal avenues—including appeals and judicial reviews—to protect our clients’ rights.


What Is Deportation?

Deportation is the process through which the UK government removes a foreign national from the country, usually under the UK Borders Act 2007 or the Immigration Act 1971. Common reasons include:

  • Conviction of a criminal offence with a custodial sentence of 12 months or more
  • Belief that deportation is conducive to the public good
  • Breach of immigration conditions or illegal entry/removal

Unlike administrative removal (which typically applies to overstayers or failed asylum seekers), deportation often follows a serious allegation and carries longer-term re-entry bans.


Key Grounds to Challenge a Deportation Order

There are several legal bases to resist deportation, depending on the facts of each case. Our solicitors assess your situation in detail and raise appropriate defences, such as:

✅ Human Rights Grounds (Article 8 ECHR)

You may challenge deportation if removal would interfere disproportionately with your right to family and private life, particularly if you have:

  • British children or spouse in the UK
  • Lived in the UK for a long period
  • No ties to your country of origin

✅ Refugee Protection or Asylum Claims

If deportation would expose you to persecution, torture, or inhumane treatment in your home country, you may be protected under the 1951 Refugee Convention or Article 3 ECHR.

✅ Unlawful Procedures or Errors in Law

We often challenge deportation decisions based on procedural unfairness, factual mistakes, or errors in applying legal tests by the Home Office.
