Immigration 

 
 
 
Our International Immigration Team handles all types of business immigration issues for clients ranging from multi-nationals to Hollywood celebrities. Our client base reflects the firm’s strength in sectors such as IT, Telecoms, Sport, Media and Communications but we act for organisations in practically every business sector.

The team comprises highly experienced individuals in all our offices across Europe and Asia. We regularly work together to facilitate international relocations and secondments, pooling our knowledge of local rules and procedures as well as ensuring continuity of client care.

We understand that speed is often a key requirement of our service and are adept at finding a way to expedite time-critical applications and resolve procedural difficulties.

We will first identify and mitigate any particular risks and issues and then devise an immigration strategy that meets your objectives and timescales. We also work closely with colleagues to ensure that all local tax, social security, administrative and employment law issues are properly addressed and taken care of.

We offer advice and help obtaining visas, work permits, entry clearances, residence, citizenship and every other kind of immigration applications. We provide representation before national immigration authorities and advice on a wide range of strategic and day-to-day issues. Our work also includes tailored policy documents, multi-country immigration audits and cross-border transaction support.

Clients turn to us again and again because they know we can help their key individuals leave or enter key jurisdictions swiftly and efficiently. Our service is built around good communication, speed of response and sensible, pragmatic solutions.


Heads of Group: Ian Hunter & Benjamine Fiedler
