New appointments boost law firm’s growth plans

law firm with offices in St Albans and London has announced the continued growth of its employment and immigration practice as part of its ongoing strategic expansion.

In early January, Senior Associate Nelli Shevchenko became the newest member of the Sherrards team, following solicitor Christine Wang, who joined in November 2024.

These recent appointments strengthen Sherrards’ legal expertise and capabilities, ensuring its clients continue to receive the highest standard of service in the dynamic field of UK immigration law.

Bringing over 10 years of experience from London’s leading immigration law firms, Nelli’s extensive expertise spans corporate and private UK immigration matters, advising a wide range of clients from large multinational corporations to small entrepreneurs.

Coming from a US law firm, she has a deep knowledge of the US market, including managing UK immigration matters for US corporations undergoing restructuring. Nelli’s other specialist sectors include digital technology, arts, financial and consulting services, bio and life sciences and manufacturing.

Throughout her distinguished career, Nelli has supported highprofile clients with their immigration needs, applying the compassion and sensitivity required for each case, and has developed a deep understanding of UK immigration law’s complexities. Nelli’s arrival marks a significant enhancement of Sherrards’ ability to provide bespoke, innovative immigration solutions to meet diverse client needs.

She said: “I’m excited to bring my experience to Sherrards, where our team will focus on developing clear practical and innovative solutions while maintaining the personal touch that complex UK immigration matters demand.”

These appointments reflect Sherrards’ commitment to expanding its legal expertise and reinforcing its employment and immigration practice as a core service area. By investing in top-tier talent, it aims to deliver unparalleled support to businesses, entrepreneurs, and individuals navigating the UK’s immigration landscape.

Mark Fellows, Head of Employment and Immigration, said: “I am delighted to welcome Nelli and Christine to Sherrards. Their impressive track records and expertise align perfectly with our mission to support our clients in this vital area of law, and to provide commercial and strategic advice to help clients achieve their desired outcomes.

“The expansion of the employment and immigration practice reflects our ongoing commitment to growth, and I am thrilled that we have Nelli and Christine on board to help us deliver on that commitment.”
