Natasha takes pride in being a trusted partner to her clients, acting as an extension of their teams and providing guidance that goes beyond transactional solutions. Her focus is on understanding her clients’ broader business objectives, enabling her to craft long-term, impactful strategies.

Following Brexit, Natasha continues to help businesses adapt to the evolving immigration landscape, particularly by introducing innovative solutions such as the Talent Beyond Boundaries (TBB) program.

She also leads the firm’s UK pro bono program, which supports initiatives like family reunification, philanthropic advisory projects and government partnerships aimed at improving immigration pathways. Her work with TBB includes both client-focused advisory services and broader government engagement to support the program’s success.

Before joining Fragomen, Natasha gained significant litigation experience in immigration, asylum, human rights and public law, representing clients before the Immigration and Asylum Tribunal, in judicial reviews and at the European Court of Human Rights.
