A prominent UK immigration law firm with offices in London and Manchester has been placed on an insolvency marketplace and is now up for sale, following significant financial challenges.
Firm with Two Offices Faces Cash Flow Crisis
A Vincent Solicitors, which operates from branches in Woolwich, London, and Manchester, has been listed for acquisition on a specialist insolvency platform. The firm, which employed more than 24 staff members, traded profitably for several years but encountered severe cash flow difficulties in 2025, according to the sale advertisement.
Specialist Services and Sudden Collapse
The practice offered a wide range of legal services but specialised in immigration, providing multi-lingual support for clients. Their expertise covered key areas including:
- Asylum applications
- Student visa applications
- Spouse and family member visas
On its website, the firm emphasised its "innovative system" for communication and case management, claiming to handle everything from simple matters to long, complex cases. It prided itself on offering tailored advice to meet each client's unique objectives.
Deadline Looming for Potential Buyers
Prospective buyers have been given a tight deadline to submit offers. All bids for the acquisition of the law firm must be received by January 20, as reported by CityAM. The publication also noted that the firm declined to comment when approached for a statement regarding its insolvency and sale.
The collapse highlights the ongoing pressures within the legal and immigration advisory sectors, where firms can face unpredictable workloads and financial strain despite a previously successful track record.
