Work Visas & Sponsorship

For individuals building a career in the United Kingdom, and for the employers who wish to sponsor them.

The points-based system governs work in the UK. Whether you are an individual seeking sponsorship or a business establishing a sponsor licence, our solicitors provide clear, commercial and compliant advice.

Routes we advise upon

Skilled Worker

The principal work route, requiring a job with an approved sponsor at the required skill and salary level. We advise on eligibility, salary thresholds, tradeable points and dependants.

Health and Care Worker

For qualifying medical and care professionals, with reduced fees and priority processing. We act for both practitioners and health-sector employers.

Global Talent

For leaders and potential leaders in academia, research, arts and digital technology, including the endorsement stage.

Senior or Specialist Worker

The Global Business Mobility route for multinational staff transferring to a UK branch.

For employers — sponsor licences

We guide organisations through the sponsor licence application, the compliance duties that follow, the assignment of Certificates of Sponsorship, and preparation for Home Office audits.

Compliance matters. A licence is only the beginning; sponsors carry ongoing duties. We put robust systems in place so that your licence is never at risk.

How we assist

  • Eligibility and salary assessments for individual applicants
  • Sponsor licence applications and compliance systems for employers
  • Certificate of Sponsorship assignment and record-keeping
  • Dependant applications for partners and children
  • Extensions, changes of employment, and the route to settlement
