This work covers temporary cross-border postings of employees who are seconded to work in the UK under visa routes such as intra‑company transfers or related work authorisations. A solicitor in this area drafts and negotiates employment and sponsorship documents, prepares visa applications, gathers evidence on the employee and employer, and liaises with the Home Office and UKVI. They also ensure ongoing compliance with sponsor duties, monitor changes to immigration rules, and advise on outcomes if a secondment ends early or a further extension is needed.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
It involves identifying the correct visa route, compiling sponsorship and evidential requirements, handling timescales and deadlines, and managing ongoing compliance obligations such as reporting duties and changes in employment terms. The solicitor addresses potential gaps in evidence, interactions with UKVI, and possible liabilities for the sponsor when a secondment ends or risks arise during the assignment.
