Immigration legal practice

Expert UK immigration legal services for businesses and individuals

Our immigration legal services advises on all aspects of UK immigration, with a particular focus on advising international businesses entering the UK market. Serving a diverse client base, ranging from SME’s to global multinational corporates, our immigration team navigates companies through the complex process of applying for a sponsor licence to employ migrant workers, ensuring their UK entities are incorporated and structured in the correct manner to comply with UK immigration laws. Once granted, we advise our clients on utilising their sponsor licence to hire/retain sponsored workers, while ensuring compliance with the extensive sponsorship reporting and record-keeping responsibilities.

Post-Brexit, we advise EU/EEA businesses which previously did not require immigration permission, to enable the transfer of overseas workers to the UK. Our immigration legal services covers all facets of business immigration, including customised right to work training for UK employers, addressing UKVI immigration enforcement notices and/or illegal working penalties, and prevention and management of sponsor licence issues. In the complex realm of mergers & acquisitions, we advise on the sponsor licence and right to work ramifications resulting from a sale, purchase, or takeover, assisting with the transfer of sponsored workers to new entities.

Our immigration legal services includes a private individual service, guiding individuals on the most suitable path to acquire an Indefinite right to reside in the UK, should that be their ultimate goal, or assisting individuals with applications for visiting the UK for business or leisure purposes. Our areas of expertise encompass a range of applications, including but not limited to Naturalisation / Registration, Indefinite leave to remain, High Potential Individual visas, UK Ancestry visas, Global Talent visas, and Investor (Tier 1) extensions.
