Business immigration: what every business needs to know
Our specialist Business Immigration team invites you to attend our immigration seminars in November.

We are running these seminars across our principal offices in London, Swindon, Bath and Oxford. Please see below for dates and timings in the different offices.
Is it relevant to your business?
These seminars will be relevant to all UK employers who do not want to fall foul of new immigration laws, particularly those who employ or want to recruit EU nationals and international talent.
We focus on employer sponsorship obligations and look at tough new penalties for illegal working. With potential fines of up to £20,000 for each illegal worker and custodial sentences of up to five years, it is essential that all businesses understand their obligations, the steps they can take to protect themselves, and are up to date with new changes to the Points Based System.
We will also discuss Brexit and potential ramifications for employers with a European workforce: latest Brexit developments, audits, and sweetners to retain staff.
Who should attend
- HR practitioners
- business owners
- managers
- those involved in recruitment.
Topics we’ll cover
- right to work checks and penalties
- recruiting from outside the EEA and the current Points Based System
- sponsorship duties
- Brexit and our predictions for the future of business immigration.
