Successfully navigating the UK's immigration regime is business-critical for many organisations.
Whether you’re an employer facing a skills shortage and needing to recruit key talent or want your global business to access the UK market, our team of experienced employment lawyers and business immigration specialists can partner with you to achieve your goals.
We advise on all aspects of economic migration to ensure that your organisation is compliant with immigration and employment law requirements.
From navigating sponsor licences and Skilled Worker visa requirements to Global Business Mobility visa routes and the visitor rules for business travellers to the UK, our team provides a bespoke service based on your organisation’s needs.
As a specialist immigration law team, we’re experts on the fast-changing UK immigration regime and key geopolitical events that impact it. For example, we’re experienced in advising businesses on the post-Brexit landscape for EU nationals, including the implications for their business travellers and mobile workforces and how they can use the sponsored work routes to achieve their expansion plans.

Are you...
“The team I worked with in Brabners was first of all prompt in response, and personally reassuring and attentive in a completely professional and authentic manner. The team listened carefully to my complex case, and was astute in quickly focusing on the key factors where I could improve my position, gracefully honest in steering me away from unproductive strategies, and sensitive to the relatively compressed income structures of my professional sector (higher education).”

“The team are very approachable, friendly and knowledgeable in the areas of their expertise. They clearly identify when other sources of expertise / knowledge is required (e.g. when other countries legal knowledge needs to to be utilised) and would be able to collaborate with the correct profession when needed which provides you with reassurance that all avenues are being explored and addressed. I believe that there is a wealth of knowledge and experience within Brabners that provides strong and sound advice and guidance when required.’”
