Legal Managed Services | ICS Legal

On this page

Almost all our clients who engage us whether through legal advice or contact us for the first time instruct ICS Legal to complete their immigration, British nationality, or EEA applications.  The reason is simply to provide clarity and assurances on the application being submitted. 

Our legal managed service provides reassurance to an application, whether this is applied under UK immigration laws, British nationality laws, or EEA laws. Our services cater to both individuals and organizations which includes businesses. We provide complete legal support by managing your application from the start to the closure of your application. 

We plan your application carefully, advising you throughout the life cycle of the application, and help on making your submission to the UK Home Office correctly. We also help when a decision needs to be challenged through the Tribunals and the Courts. You benefit from the latest tools and technology we use, to help manage your application. 

On-demand legal services

Our on-demand legal services allow you to instruct us, as soon as you intend to lodge an application to the relevant authorities. Our services in summary are as follows:

  1. Provide legal advice throughout the life cycle of the application. In our experience, we spend our time explaining and answering a lot of your questions that arise when you embark on the application process. Our advice sessions are done on the telephone, online chat, and also emails. 

  2. Advice on the evidence required to meet the prescribed policies and laws. This becomes an essential part of your application.  

  3. Checking your documents to make sure the specified policy law is met. It is not always the case that two applications are the same, so we will always advise on alternative evidence and our reasons for that. 

  4. Complete the relevant forms. It may be easy to complete but with the new digital system, a wrong answer can get you to complete the application incorrectly, thus risking the rate of refusal higher. 

  5. Drafting of legal representation. The UK Home Office and the Court encourages the use of formal representation, setting out your application and reasons for the application. 

  6. Instruction letter. This is the last part of the process, giving you clear ideas and structure of the application. 

  7. Submission and directions on attendance at the service centers.

Should we be able to provide assistance, your case worker will give you a customer care letter whereby it would outline the service agreement and the cost associated.

We have a procedure in place for ensuring client confidentiality.

We keep the affairs of our clients and all information relating to our clients confidential, except where we are compelled to disclose information by reason of a legal or regulatory obligation.

A customer care letter from us will ensure that we outline the service we would be providing, it would also provide a break down of the costs associated so you can rest assure that there are no hidden charges and that fees do not go up unless changes are made (i.e. Home Office fees etc).

Please note that all cases cannot be guaranteed as circumstances depends and whether you met guidelines, however the Home Office caseworker can still refuse cases on the balance of probabilities and other factors.

Our job would be to prepare your case in the best possible way.

Yes, we do. ICS Legal other than fixed costs, offer our client's priority services in what we do including retainer services. 

As a private legal firm, we want to ensure we can provide the service you want. Our fees are very competitive and that is why we do not provide a No Win No Fee service as we do not feel the need to over charge our clients with such schemes.

With us, you will know exactly what we would be charging.

The fees are to be paid through cash or bank transfer. 

Home Office, third party including other costs not charged by us, will be confirmed when that is possible and are subject to changes. 

Our commitment to our clients is that we will update you every time we get an update from the Home Office. The waiting period can be a very daunting time as decisions can be life changing however the Home Office do set some guidelines on waiting times, but we intend to keep you updated throughout the process.
No, and this is the same even if you use a no win no fee service, it would be impossible for anyone to guarantee a successful application. The likelihood of an application being successful can be given based on previous cases or success rates, however we do not operate such a policy of selling our services based on previous applications.
We aim to ensure that this service is not used by any of our clients, but there are times where even with the best possible applications are unsuccessful. As we take our clients cases personally, we would like to provide a helping hand. We have designed an aftercare service whereby if your case fails, then your case worker would be able to help you look at other formalities of staying in the UK should you have valid leave still remaining or help you make an out country application. Please note should you require appealing on your matter, we can only deal with the initial appeal and your application will be straight away referred to an advisor who deals with representations.
It is vital that all our clients can provide honest feedback, we would encourage this and this helps us to become better on our service delivery.
