Latitude Law, a prominent immigration law firm based in Manchester, has promoted Natasha Willett and Mohammed Hafejee to Partner.

This milestone reflects their outstanding contributions and dedication to the firm’s mission of delivering expert immigration legal services. Their elevation to Partner highlights Latitude Law’s continued investment in talent and commitment to excellence in the evolving field of UK immigration law.

Natasha Willett joined the firm in 2014 and qualified as a solicitor in 2017. Her strong work ethic and impressive technical knowledge have seen her rise swiftly through the ranks, achieving Partnership just eight years after qualification. While Natasha advises across all UK-inbound immigration routes, she has particular expertise in business immigration. Known for her pragmatic, efficient, and no-nonsense approach, she is especially valued by corporate clients navigating complex sponsor licence and compliance issues.

She has significant experience advising on non-sponsored work routes and on sponsor compliance, particularly in the context of mergers and acquisitions. Natasha is also an accomplished litigator and frequently handles family immigration matters. As Head of Training and Development, she is committed to mentoring junior colleagues and embedding a culture of continuous learning.

Mohammed Hafejee joined Latitude Law as a solicitor in 2021. His rapid progression to Associate, then Senior Associate, and now Partner reflects both his technical excellence and his entrepreneurial mindset. Known for building strong and lasting client relationships, Mohammed is recognised in The Legal 500 UK 2025, which highlights his “expertise in advising start-ups and small enterprises.”

Mohammed specialises in supporting high-net-worth individuals and entrepreneurs to achieve their personal and business goals in the UK. He has particular expertise in securing visas for International Sportspersons and individuals recognised for exceptional talent or promise.

Managing Partner Gary McIndoe commented: “These promotions reflect the outstanding contributions Natasha and Mohammed have made to Latitude Law. Immigration is all we do – and both bring a wealth of expertise, leadership, and commercial acumen to our senior team. We’re excited to see them continue to elevate the firm’s profile and deliver exceptional service to our clients.”

Alongside these promotions, Latitude Law is also celebrating recent accolades across the team:

• Senior Caseworker Nancy Zhang has received the Mondaq Thought Leadership Award (Spring 2025) for her insightful video exploring the challenges of applying for Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK. Her contribution has attracted wide engagement and praise across the platform.
• Managing Partner Gary McIndoe has been named a Lexology Thought Leader in the Private Client Immigration category for the first time, adding to his longstanding recognition in Corporate Immigration. Lexology describes Gary as “a pillar of excellence in UK immigration law – respected not only for his deep expertise, but also for his unwavering commitment to justice, global talent, and human rights.”

These achievements reflect Latitude Law’s continued growth as one of the UK’s leading boutique immigration firms – delivering top-tier expertise with the personal care and clarity clients value.
