Business immigration is a core part of our practice and we work with clients to assist across the full range of business immigration matters.

Immigration

Overview

Along with the benefits that international workforces bring, business immigration can also create complex legal questions for employers. We offer a fully integrated service for clients providing high quality, strategic employment and business immigration advice. Whether you are looking at individual employee mobility or multiple international secondments and intra group transfers, our team can help.  

Our strategic immigration advice is tailored to your business’s structure and key staff members. We provide end-to-end support across a range of immigration issues, including obtaining sponsor licences, navigating right to work requirements, and ensuring ongoing compliance with sponsor duties. In light of increased scrutiny from the UK government, we also specialise in preparing businesses for government audits, offering proactive compliance reviews and mock audits to help you identify and address potential risks before they arise. Our strategic immigration advice focuses on your business’s structure and key staff members. We can support you on a range of immigration issues, including obtaining sponsor licences, government audits and ensuring you are compliant with sponsor compliance duties as well as right to work issues.

We offer specialist guidance on applications for entrepreneurs, start-ups, and immigration issues in corporate transactions. Our experience extends to supporting clients with visa applications for highly skilled professionals and roles in key shortage sectors such as technology, healthcare, and engineering.

Beyond core business immigration needs, we also advise on:

  • Trends and solutions for high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) considering UK relocation, and alternatives available to them
  • Sport and international talent mobility
  • Family reunification and dependent visa applications

We have particular expertise with applications for entrepreneurs and start-ups, as well as immigration issues that arise in corporate transactions. We can also support you with sponsored work visa applications for senior and highly specialised professionals, including those involving international transfers, senior executives and specialists for shortage roles. We also regularly help clients navigate the compliance requirements in place for sponsor employers.

Since the UK’s referendum, we have been working with clients on complex Brexit plans. These often span across tax, regulatory, employment and immigration issues. We are dedicated to continually supporting all clients and their employees across a range of sectors including financial services, insurers and investment firms, media, manufacturing, health, leisure and retail.
