Our expertise in immigration law

Here are some examples of how our immigration solicitors have helped businesses, individuals and families.

Protecting a sponsor licence after a takeover

When a software and IT services business was acquired by a US multinational, the buyer’s sponsor licence had missed Home Office reporting deadlines and didn’t cover the transferring workers. We moved all sponsored workers to a compliant licence, averting the risk of Home Office sanctions.

Managing employee mobility for a multinational

A global manufacturing group needed to maintain a rare service supplier sponsor licence alongside internships, skilled worker sponsorship and intra-company moves across England and Scotland. We managed its licence and sponsorship, achieving seamless employee mobility while keeping the business fully compliant.

Global Talent visa for an Afrobeats artist

Demonstrating an artist’s profile and standing can be difficult in a genre that’s still gaining recognition in the UK. We secured a Global Talent visa for the artist, gathering media coverage, testimonials and work history to win the Arts Council England endorsement the visa requires.

Settlement for a business owner and his family

A Turkish businessman with a successful UK export business sought settlement for his family, which included children from two marriages and dependent adult children. We secured settlement for the whole family under the ECAA/Turkey Agreement, despite the added complexity of Brexit.

Securing status for a family returning to the UK

A couple returning to the UK after several years abroad each needed a different solution: a late EU Settlement Scheme application for the wife and registration as a British citizen for her husband. We successfully secured both, allowing the family to settle back into life in the UK.

British citizenship through a mother’s line

A client’s claim to British citizenship came through their mother, at a time when the law only allowed citizenship to pass through fathers. We successfully registered our client as a British citizen under section 4C of the British Nationality Act 1981.
