FAQs

Commonly asked questions on Business Immigration.

1. When do businesses require immigration legal services?

In our experience, companies require business immigration legal advice under 4 main circumstances:

  1. Registering for and ongoing management of a sponsorship licence
  2. Managing internal compliance for current sponsored staff
  3. Consulting on and applying for how to bring in overseas talent
  4. Understanding general UK business immigration requirements and eligibility

In addition to the above, many businesses also seek our advice on home office compliance, including challenging sponsorship licence suspensions or revocation, advising on skilled worker visa applications (and associated visa applications for family members), innovator founder visas and, for companies with a wider presence outside of the UK, global business mobility.

2. What do our business immigration services cover?

We offer comprehensive end-to-end immigration solutions for everything from small businesses looking to bring in overseas talent, to foreign companies looking to expand to the UK market.

Our business immigration team can provide an integrated single point of contact, working alongside our corporate and employment law teams to help businesses with:

  1. Auditing your existing company structure and practices in preparation for taking on international staff
  2. Ensuring your existing staff records are Home Office-compliant
  3. Training people and HR managers on their sponsorship and compliance responsibilities
  4. Assessing the suitability of sponsorship or global mobility for your business
  5. Advising on and making long term and visitor visa applications for your staff and their families, including complex applications for individuals from countries deemed ‘high risk’ by the UK government
  6. Assisting your business in maintaining compliance with local laws, customs and filing requirements
  7. The best way to structure your UK subsidiary or UK-based acquisitions

We specialise in helping companies looking to bring in overseas talent from Commonwealth countries, including India and many countries in West Africa; the United States; China, including Hong Kong and BNO pathway-eligible colleagues; and EU-citizens who have not received pre-settled status.

3. How much do our business immigration services cost?

We provide free consultations with business owners and senior stakeholders to discuss your company’s immigration challenges. To book an appointment, call 0203 007 5500, or submit an enquiry form.

After discussing your requirements, your immigration solicitor will provide you with a scope of works alongside an estimate of costs and timescales involved. Depending on your needs, we can provide services on a one-off or retained basis.

We encourage companies who are bringing on overseas staff members for the first time to retain our services for a short period after you successfully receive your sponsorship licence to ensure you meet the Home Office’s compliance requirements.
