Business immigration advice for businesses based in the UK or overseas

We provide immigration advice for corporate clients, organisations, education or health providers, offering practical solutions to workforce planning when they need to recruit talents from abroad. 

Since the end of the free movement between the United Kingdom and the EU, organisations continue to face unprecedented recruitment issues and must learn to navigate an increasingly complex and ever-changing myriad of immigration rules.  

Our immigration team provides a one-stop strategic service combining our expertise of business immigration with our experience of UK employment law.  

When appropriate, we also work closely with our corporate team and company secretarial service to offer you a seamless experience. 

We tailor our approach to the size of your business or organisation and have a wide-ranging expertise of various sectors including luxury retail, catering, new technologies, health and education. 

We always provide a personal, practical approach which enables us to identify the best options for you based on your objectives and implement clear, strategic and cost-effective solutions when your organisation needs to employ or continue to employ overseas staff in the United Kingdom.  

In particular, we have invaluable expertise in assisting new and more established EU businesses to employ the workforce they need when they set up a UK subsidiary. 

Our specialist immigration team is bi-lingual (French and English).  

Immigration and employment law for French Companies  

We have advised French companies on the immigration and employment aspects of operating a business in the United Kingdom for 30 years. Our experience and expertise are widely recognised. We can assist new or more established businesses to navigate the legal differences in operating in these two countries.  

We also assist on matters involving other jurisdictions through our network of carefully selected international law firms.  We are not required to recommend a member of the network.  No referral fees are paid.
