Corporate Immigration

We have an exceptionally high reputation in the industry, and have a specialist team of Immigration Solicitors who have vast experience in dealing with Corporate Immigration matters as we understand the importance for corporations in the UK to secure the right people for the right employment opportunities. This is indispensable for the growth of any business and its ability to continue to provide its’ services successfully.

We are one of very few Immigration law firms to provide highly qualified, and eminently respected Immigration solicitors in the UK and EU, such as Javeria Ijaz, a Senior Immigration Solicitor with rights to advocate at the Immigration Tribunal in the UK for the last 13 years. Ms Ijaz is an influential Business Immigration Solicitor and advises many clients and corporations on Immigration laws affecting UK and foreign businesses and investors.

Immigration Law is frequently changing and becoming increasingly complex with the list of requirements and policy guidance issued by the Home Office causing uncertainty and frustration for many businesses and corporations in the UK. This has resulted in many corporations and businesses unable to meet the strict requirements which has, in turn, had a negative impact on profitability and the services that businesses can offer as their ability to hire foreign employees have been restricted.

Failure to adhere to the Immigration Rules can have serious consequences for a business and its employees, for example businesses can face substantial fines and have their Licence to sponsor revoked immediately without a right of appeal.

Understandably without the right employees, a business will fail and so, if a business is refused permission to sponsor the right workers, they will likely experience financial losses. It is therefore vital that the correct help and advice is sought from the outset to avoid any possible complications when submitting applications to the Home Office.
