Business Immigration

Our experienced business immigration lawyers are able to provide prompt, efficient and cost-effective advice to businesses/ colleges wishing to employ overseas nationals or sponsor overseas students.
Many employers are reliant on migrant labour from outside the UK or the European Economic Area to ensure their workforce has the best skills, experience and qualifications required for certain positions. Recruitment from overseas is often essential for positions where there is a skills shortage in the UK/ European Economic Area or where specialist language skills are required.

A vast number of individuals are often keen to come to the UK to work, set up a business, and invest, to perform or to study. However, for employers whose main aim is to ensure that their new employee is able to start work quickly and move to the UK with as little stress as possible, UK immigration law and procedures can often seem overly daunting and complicated.

Our specialist team has a wealth of experience in all areas of business immigration law including the Points Based System (PBS), and keep abreast of the latest developments in order to guide clients through the immigration process. We have expertise in relation to applications under each tier of the PBS and in particular can advise our clients on how to apply for sponsorship licences and issuing certificates of sponsorship which include Tier 2 and Tier 5 migrants, as well as the intra-company transfers.

We can provide training on immigration best practice for all sponsors including employers and colleges. Such a service is of particular use to companies on the “Home Office’s Register of Sponsors” or those organisations which wish to become sponsors. In this way we can ensure that you are compliant with the UK’s laws to prevent illegal working, your duties as sponsors and are therefore protecting the business or college as far as possible. We can also help mitigate problems should you discover employees whose permission to work is due to expire or has already expired, and those students whose visas are due for renewal.
