UK Immigration Law has undergone sweeping changes, aimed at providing safer border controls and managed migration.

For the business which intends to employ foreign or migrant workers, our team of experts provides advice and guidance in relation to applications for sponsorship licences (the pre-requisite of a business wishing to employ migrant workers), as well as on the rules governing the “points based system”.

Our expertise in this area covers all of the most common topics which are of interest to businesses, such as the employment of highly skilled migrants, intra company transfers, the “resident labour market test” for skilled and other workers, and those jobs which are included in the constantly revised (and ever-changing) list of shortage occupations.

If you need to register as a sponsor with the UK Border Agency as a potential employer of migrant or foreign workers, we can assist you in completing the online application and advise you how to ensure that you comply with the law and avoid the pitfalls, which can include sanctions under criminal law and very substantial fines.

Please contact the Partner in charge, David Liebeck, who will be happy to assist you further in relation to this new and evolving area of law.
