Immigration
Increasingly employers are relying on overseas workers to provide the skills they need. Obtaining permission for a key employee to work in the UK can therefore be vital for the success of a business. Changes to the law mean that employers need to do more than ever to comply with immigration regulations and ensure they are not employing illegal workers: the penalties for getting it wrong are significant.
