https://khanlaw.co.uk: It may have nothing to do with the practice of law. Even the individual bits about solicitors at a firm only pop up as comment boxes (and not very well on mobile devices).

https://blzsolicitors.co.uk: One solicitor has experience with the immigration process whilst the other originally worked for the 'enemy' - i.e. For example, many immigration solicitors are in fact immgrants themselves or saw the struggles of family friends trying to come over to the UK.
