Immigration
In an increasingly global market, businesses need to be able to recruit the best calibre staff to maintain a commercial advantage. If you wish to employ someone who is not an EEA national, you will need to be aware of the Immigration hurdles that must be overcome to recruit from the global talent pool.
Our Immigration Group has 20 years combined experience in advising businesses on how legally to recruit and transfer staff to the United Kingdom. Our extensive links with the immigration authorities both here and in the jurisdictions in which we operate, allow us to provide a commercial and pro-active response to your recruitment needs. We work within a wide range of industry sectors from IT to Financial and Professional services.
We also advise high net worth individuals wishing to obtain residency in the UK by way of a financial investment, or for tax planning purposes to take advantages of the UK's favourable domicile legislation.
We regularly advise on:
- Work permit requirements and applications
- Highly Skilled Migrant Programme (HSMP)
- Strategic immigration advice
- Immigration led tax planning
- Establishing businesses in the UK
- Sole representatives of overseas organisations
- UK inward investment.
