Here at LegalTea, we’ve been brewing some important tea in response to an area of law that’s been making the headlines for several years now, but also very recently as well: Immigration & Asylum Law.

So here to help spill the tea on this area this week is Josh Asokan, a Senior Immigration Caseworker in Immigration & Asylum Law at Oxfordshire-based law firm, Turpin & Miller LLP. Josh has also founded Odyssey Ensemble, a brand new orchestra dedicated to advocating for the dignity of vulnerable migrants in the UK through the power of music.
