Experience

I am a Senior Associate in the Immigration Department and specialise in corporate immigration.

I assist clients in obtaining and managing a sponsor licence and help navigate the Immigration Rules to sponsor workers from outside the UK. I also assist clients with illegal working issues, carrying out onsite audits and providing bespoke training on right to work and compliance issues.

Highlights
  • Highlighting a niche issue within the Immigration Rules impacting trainee architects, liaising with ILPA to have it raised and providing strategic advice to clients impacted.
  • Assisting a global company of its sponsor licence obligations pre and post-acquisition and the impact on sponsored migrants.
  • Providing strategic advice to a well-known faith based organisation which had previously been subject to UKVI scrutiny and had many of their employees visas’ refused.
  • Obtaining an urgent sponsor licence for a high profile Non-Governmental Organisation, allowing them to sponsor key personnel into the UK within a tight timeframe.
  • Advising a high-profile company facing right to work check scrutiny by the UKVI, ensuring their policies and procedures were updated to reflect UKVI guidance.
  • Training clients and its HR team on sponsoring migrants, implications of Brexit and strategy.
