UK Business Immigration Attorney

Expanding your company into the United Kingdom or transferring employees internationally requires navigating a complex set of immigration laws, corporate regulations, and compliance obligations. That’s where a skilled UK business immigration attorney becomes essential. Whether you’re launching a UK branch, sponsoring skilled workers, or applying for a UK Expansion Worker Visa, having experienced legal guidance ensures your business remains compliant and your transition is smooth.

A UK business immigration attorney specializes in helping overseas companies—particularly U.S.-based firms—secure the correct visas and licenses to establish and operate legally in the UK. For companies not yet trading in the UK, this typically involves obtaining a sponsor license, preparing a business expansion plan, and guiding executives or senior staff through the visa application process.

The most common route for U.S. companies entering the UK market is the UK Expansion Worker Visa, a part of the Global Business Mobility (GBM) framework. This visa allows a company to transfer a key employee to the UK to set up a new entity. The application process includes multiple steps: registering the UK company, applying for a sponsor license, issuing a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS), and completing the employee’s visa application.

A knowledgeable UK business immigration attorney helps with:

  • Assessing your company’s eligibility for UK expansion
  • Drafting and filing sponsor license applications
  • Advising on salary thresholds, job roles, and compliance
  • Preparing and reviewing supporting documentation
  • Communicating with UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI)
  • Managing timelines and legal risks throughout the process
