At ICS Legal, we understand that if you are a business, or an educational provider, it is important that you are supported through a complex, sponsor licensing system. The governance of the sponsor licence is set out by the Home Office.
Our Business Lawyers will be able to give you advice, guidance and help throughout the sponsor management system.
When it comes to businesses, migration plays a key importance to our clients and how they look to bring in competitive edge into their business.
These may include consultants coming to advise on business matters, research on medical assignments, or looking to invest into the growing UK market to name a few.
For the educational providers, it is also important to run an efficient sponsor management system, as you would be sponsoring both students and possibly workers within the establishment.
With the ever growing stringent compliance requirements and visits, our Business Lawyers will advise you on how to manage your system to be managed, without having the sponsor licence being revoked.
