Immigration

Our specialist immigration lawyers resolve complex mobility issues efficiently using our extensive experience of the immigration system, membership of the Home Office Business Users Forum, and international network of advisers.

We have substantial experience advising on a variety of immigration matters:

• Sponsor licence applications. The end of EU freedom of movement means that EU and non-EU nationals require immigration permission to work in the UK.  We have extensive experience in preparing sponsor licence applications for Skilled Worker and Intra-Company Transfer visas and helping employers navigate the new points-based system.
• Training for HR teams and managers. We have a range of training packages to suit all requirements.  Whether you are looking for training on the new points-based system, right to work checks, sponsor duties, or the EU Settlement Scheme, our team of experienced trainers can help. 
• Acting as Level 1 user on the sponsor management system. This means we are able to undertake tasks on behalf of sponsors including assigning certificates of sponsorship, taking away much of the day-to-day work and hassle.
• Sponsor compliance audits. We have extensive experience in conducting audits and providing strategic advice on how to mitigate compliance failures in preparation for Home Office compliance audits.
• Visa applications. Whether in connection with establishing a business in the UK, visiting the UK, applying for a Skilled Worker visa, or British citizenship, our team of experts can help.

We provides immigration and global mobility support for clients across a range of sectors including:

• Universities
• NHS Trusts
• Research institutes
• Life sciences
• Technology start-ups
• PLCs
• Scale ups and SMEs
• Premiership football clubs
