Turpin & Miller LLP
Turpin & Miller LLP is a well-regarded law firm located at 1 Agnes Court, Oxford Road, Cowley, Oxford, OX4 2EW. The firm was incorporated as a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) on 16 August 2010 though its roots trace back further through its founding by Philip Turpin and Clare Miller in 2002, establishing a strong reputation in the field of immigration law.
Company History
Philip Turpin, now a Consultant Solicitor within the Business and Skilled Immigration team, brings over 40 years of experience in immigration law, advising a range of clients including the University of Oxford, NGOs, businesses, innovators, and skilled individuals. The firm has built a national reputation for expertise across business/skilled immigration, personal and family immigration, legal aid–supported immigration, and housing law.
Legal Aid Services
Turpin & Miller LLP is noted for its enduring commitment to legal aid, particularly in immigration, asylum, and housing matters—remaining one of the few firms in Oxford to continue this work despite funding constraints.
The firm notably contributes to the Oxford Legal Assistance (OLA) scheme, a joint initiative with the University of Oxford’s Law Faculty. This initiative provides supervised legal aid clinics, hands-on training, and research opportunities to law students working on asylum and human rights cases.
Turpin & Miller LLP has also been recognised by the Law Society for its dedication to excellence in client service, especially through innovative clinic formats—such as drop-in surgeries for detained immigration clients and outreach clinics for those facing barriers to access—which exemplify its client-focussed and legal-aid-rooted ethos.
Key Legal Aid Areas Offered:
- Immigration & Asylum (including appeals, detention cases, visa applications, refugee status)
- Housing Advice & Representation
- Public Law Work, particularly relating to vulnerable or detained clients, often supported by legal aid schemes
