Whether you're hiring global talent, relocating executives, or considering your personal immigration status, we provide tailored support to help you to stay on top of complex immigration changes, even when the pace of change seems relentless.

Our team of experienced immigration and employment specialists advise on a full spectrum of immigration matters from sponsor licences, visa applications, eligibility to work checks to general compliance. Across our team we have expertise in both corporate and personal immigration, with overlapping employment law considerations always at the forefront of our minds.

Whether you're scaling up internationally, relocating or retaining key talent, or responding to skills shortages, immigration is likely to be a consideration. But UK immigration rules are complex, fast-changing, and unforgiving. We have the expertise to protect both your organisation and your employees’ needs.

Our team works with a variety of organisations (including international businesses) to secure sponsor licences, manage employees’ visa applications, and meet ongoing UK Visa and Immigration (UKVI) sponsor duties and compliance obligations. We also manage sponsor licences which includes reporting activity and changes such as acquisitions or outsourcing. This takes the pressure off internal Compliance, Talent and HR teams.

We train your teams, audit your files, and step in when crisis management is needed whether that is in relation to UKVI enforcement action or compliance visits. We also help organisations stay ahead of the changes, avoid civil penalties, and keep recruitment plans on track.

Immigration is also about people and talent retention and development. We support individuals at every stage - from first-time visa applications to extension, settlement and naturalisation applications. Our team advises on Global Talent, EUSS, International Sportsperson, family and work routes. We explain your options in plain English and guide you through each step with empathy and expertise.
