She is accredited as a specialist in immigration law by the Law Society of Scotland and is top ranked as an individual practitioner by Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners.

Ms Moore said: “At a time when businesses, particularly in the healthcare and hospitality industry, are struggling to recruit, employer sponsorship could unlock opportunities and it’s great to support businesses in navigating this often complex system. I’m looking forward to utilising my expertise to support both individual and corporate clients across Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dundee with Thorntons.”

Colin Graham, chairperson, said: “We’re proud to be a forward looking and ambitious firm, and with the Glasgow expansion on the horizon, it’s a great time for Jacqueline to join and bolster our specialist immigration team.”
