Bermuda work permit policy

The Association of Bermuda International Companies consulted our immigration team over its attempts to persuade the Bermudian Government to drop a controversial policy imposing a maximum term for work permits.

There was concern that these new limits would be detrimental to many businesses. We worked with leading counsel to produce an opinion on the most viable way to proceed, which incorporated detailed analysis of bilateral and multilateral international instruments as well as human rights law. A formal response is currently awaited from the Bermudian Government.
