Business Immigration

We offer specialist advice both for individuals and businesses. Ranging from London-based to national and multinational companies, at every stage of the UK’s points-based system, which governs initial admission and permission to remain for various forms of personal, business and employment-related immigration.

Immigration in all forms is a complex and increasingly emotive issue. Globalisation has fostered greater mobility for businesses and workforces alike, resulting in new challenges for legislators and business owners.

In the UK, immigration laws are in a near constant state of flux as the government seeks to attract certain skills and stem the flow of others, making corporate immigration into the UK very complicated. Businesses need to be vigilant and expertly advised to avoid breaching the rules, while at the same time ensuring that they take advantage of all opportunities to recruit and locate effectively.
