Immigration
The depth of our employment law advice in this area enables us to give practical guidance to employers wishing to recruit or transfer overseas nationals to the UK. Our employment lawyers also advise highly skilled individuals who wish to come to the UK to work or to set up in business.
We provide employment advice for a number of substantial international employers in connection with their UK immigration requirements, and liaise on their behalf with the relevant immigration authorities including the Immigration and Nationality Department of the Home Office and Work Permits (UK). Our reputation in the field and the contacts our employment solicitors have within the relevant organisations ensure that immigration applications are dealt with smoothly and expeditiously.
Our Employment, Tax and Pensions Departments can advise in relation to ancillary issues including employment contracts, tax implications and relocation packages.
Other services offered include employment law advice on prevention of illegal working, the rules relating to spouses, unmarried partners and other dependents of overseas nationals in each immigration category, applications to the Home Office for leave to remain in the UK and applications for British Citizenship.
Our employment lawyers will always encourage you to take immigration advice as early as possible as it can take some time for the Home Office to process immigration applications.
