If you are an employer seeking to recruit international talent immigration law can feel overwhelming. The rules are detailed, the requirements are strict, and the consequences of mistakes can be significant. At The Jonathan Lea Network, our experienced immigration team is here to make the process clear, manageable and strategically planned from the outset. Our service is proactive, client-centred and designed to give you complete confidence in the route ahead. With clear communication, meticulous preparation and collaborative teamwork across our wider legal departments, we help you secure the outcome you need as efficiently as possible.
Our aim is to equip you with reliable information in plain English, answer the key questions you may have, and highlight how we can support you through every step of the process.
How We Support UK Businesses
The UK immigration system offers employers various routes to bring skilled, specialist or intra-company staff to the UK. Recruiting overseas talent can be transformational for a business, but compliance obligations are strict and Home Office scrutiny is increasing. Our team works closely with UK companies to ensure they understand their duties and remain fully compliant.
We regularly assist businesses with:
- Sponsor licence applications, including preparing mandatory documents, advising on key personnel roles, and helping you design internal compliance systems that meet Home Office expectations.
- Skilled Worker visa processes, from assessing job eligibility to issuing Certificates of Sponsorship and preparing full visa applications.
- Global Mobility routes, offering guidance to multinationals and scaling businesses on Senior or Specialist Worker transfers, Graduate Trainee assignments and UK Expansion Worker permissions.
Whether you are hiring your first international employee or managing high-volume global mobility movements, we support you with clear, strategic and commercially focused advice.
