OTS Solicitors

OTS Solicitors, established in 2014, has built a reputation for delivering commercial and pragmatic legal advice with a strong emphasis on quality and client service. The firm is recognised nationally and internationally for its expertise in both business and personal immigration law and has frequently appeared in UK and foreign media on matters such as Brexit, visa changes, the Windrush generation, and asylum issues.

The practice is led by Managing Partner Oshin Shahiean and CEO Teni Shahiean, supported by a skilled team that includes senior consultant and former immigration judge Paul Gulbenkian. The firm advises entrepreneurs, high-net-worth individuals, academic institutions, multinational organisations, and SMEs on complex business immigration matters, including sponsor licence compliance, investor visas, start-up and innovator visas, and corporate immigration training. The personal immigration team provides guidance on student, spouse, visitor, and family visas, indefinite leave to remain, British citizenship, asylum and human rights claims, appeals, and deportation matters.

In addition to its immigration work, OTS Solicitors has expanded into family law, employment law, landlord and tenant law, civil litigation, commercial law, and human rights cases. The family law team advises on high-net-worth divorce, international child disputes, adoption, surrogacy, and cross-border settlements, often combining expertise in both family and immigration law. The employment law department represents businesses of all sizes on matters such as TUPE, redundancy, tribunal claims, disciplinary proceedings, and settlement agreements. The landlord and tenant team acts for landlords, tenants, agents, and property management companies in disputes ranging from eviction and arrears to harassment and contract breaches. The litigation and commercial teams handle disputes, including contract claims, shareholder issues, professional negligence, and company law, assisting overseas entrepreneurs with business structures once visas are secured.

OTS Solicitors has a strong international focus, with senior lawyers regularly travelling to jurisdictions including the Middle East, Asia, North Africa, the United States, and Europe to advise businesses. The firm is highly recommended by clients, intermediaries, and peers for its emphasis on excellence and service.
