This work covers the regulation and accommodation of workers who come from outside the UK to live and work, including visas, sponsorship, rights to work and compliance with recruitment and employment standards. A solicitor in this area handles visa applications and renewals, sponsor licence matters, worker registration and ongoing compliance for employers, and disputes around eligibility to work. They may also advise on fines or enforcement actions for incorrect right-to-work checks and assist in relevant tribunal or court proceedings as needed.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The key decisions are about obtaining or preserving permission to work, meeting renewal deadlines, and addressing penalties for non-compliance with right-to-work rules. A solicitor protects the client by ensuring eligibility is correctly verified, preparing supporting evidence for visa or sponsorship applications, and guiding responses to investigations or penalties from the Home Office and immigration authorities.
