Saracens can offer the latest advice in relation to the new 'points based system' which covers the new tier 1 (general) system, which was previously known as HSMP, and how to get a UK work permit under the new points based tier 2 system as well as student applications.

Our immigration lawyers have extensive experience in making marriage, civil partnership, asylum and human rights applications (in particular article 8; the right to private and family life, and article 3; protection against inhumane and degrading treatment). Our field of expertise also covers European Union legislation.

Furthermore, if you would like help in bringing a relative to the United Kingdom, for example a parent or grandparent, as your dependant, an immigration lawyer will help you to ensure that you comply with all of the home office criteria.

Our immigration lawyers deal daily with the rights of EU nationals and non EU nationals.

A key feature of our approach is that no case is too big or too small, and we bring the same commitment and professionalism to all our work, from "routine" applications to the most high-profile cutting-edge case.

We also offer an initial one-hour fixed fee consultation, with no further obligation if this arrangement is suitable for you.

The new immigration rules mean that expert advice in this area is vital if running a business. We can provide you with the right advice on various aspects of commercial immigration law into the UK to ensure that you have the employees to make your business a success.

You may already be running a business in the UK and want to ensure that you have the necessary licence to employ an overseas worker(s).
