We’re delighted to announce that we will be hosting an in-person Legal Sector Immigration Roundtable on Thursday 25 September in London with several government representatives joining to hear directly from the legal sector.
The event will be for approx. 90 mins and will start at 10am for registration and refreshments with the roundtable commencing at 10:30am.
Key Discussion Topics:
- Sponsorship viability under the July salary threshold increases, affecting paralegals, trainees, and NQs.
- GAE licence inoperability, and disruption to international intern/vac schemes.
- Graduate route reform, reducing the 2-year post-study visa to 18 months and implications for training contracts and SQE qualifying work experience.
- Secondment restrictions and client contract arrangements, particularly under the sponsored worker routes.
- The DBT is also interested in understanding the challenges facing the legal sector in terms of UK to EU, and EU to UK mobility (post Brexit).
This session will explore the operational and talent impacts of recent policy changes, and feed directly into Fragomen’s response to the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) and other key government stakeholders.
Who Should Attend:
We’re hoping contacts from UK and international firms, ideally in HR, Talent, or Mobility roles, with hands-on experience in immigration strategy or trainee programme management can join.
We’re especially keen to include firms such as yours with:
- Global office footprints
- International trainee and intern intakes
- First-hand experience of recent immigration policy challenges
The roundtable will be a practical, open forum for sharing challenges, successes, and evolving firm strategies, aimed at establishing a collaborative benchmark for the sector.
Action Required
Please rsvp here to confirm your attendance.
We hope you’ll be able to join us for what promises to be a valuable and engaging session!
