Penningtons Manches Cooper’s highly ranked immigration team understands the needs of fast-moving technology companies, and provides commercially-driven solutions and strategic advice to start-ups as well as more established technology companies. We work closely with the Home Office to ensure that our clients receive targeted, strategic advice with fast turn-around times.
Our immigration team is deeply embedded in London's tech community and has played a major role in lobbying the Government for policy changes to benefit this sector. Members of the team sit on a variety of tech-focused working groups and are active members of Tech London Advocates (TLA), co-chairing the TLA Immigration policy group.
We regularly speak at tech conferences and events and have acted as mentors to start-ups seeking to grow in the UK. We are attuned to the unique culture of this sector and understand the risks and opportunities affecting the technology marketplace. This makes us well placed to give our clients an up-to-date perspective and informed, pragmatic advice.
Our expertise covers all aspects of immigration affecting the tech sector, including Tier 1 (entrepreneur) applications, the Tech Nation visa and sponsor licensing. We can offer bespoke strategic advice to our clients, helping them to anticipate staffing needs and ensure they have the right team in place to grow rapidly. Our global mobility capability also means that we can continue to service our clients when their business expands beyond the UK's borders.
As a full service firm, we also offer bespoke start-up packages, covering multiple practice areas. This holistic approach allows us to work quickly and cohesively, integrating immigration advice into a larger firm offering if required.
