Space and Aerospace

Space

The space sector is a thriving and significant contributor to the economy, experiencing substantial growth and investment. With the annual global space sector forecast to grow up to 11% over the next decade, there is a clear imperative to attract and ensure a future pipeline of space talent.

We know that companies in the space sector have demanding business needs, ranging from project schedules to competing for talent that require thoughtful and timely immigration advice. We also understand the current skills shortage is key for the industry, as well as the increasing focus on sustainability and additional green skills considerations. The industry as a whole is also subject to regulatory constraints and challenges which can change quickly. Our knowledge of this sector enables us to provide clients with guidance on all the above, as well as best practices in immigration policies and programs, and on the involvement of in-house resources in the handling of mobility matters. We understand the priority our clients in the space sector will place on high quality and speedy services, and the concerns of their foreign national employees.

Clients value us for our:

Deep experience

We are deeply familiar with the immigration issues that our space sector clients may be facing. To underpin this, we have significant industry partnerships allowing us to stay close to the sector. For example, we regularly partner with Space Skills Alliance and have an active role on the Scottish Parliament’s cross-party group on space. As a firm, we focus exclusively on immigration and have provided immigration services for over 70 years, giving us profound insight into immigration matters. We think strategically about visa options and handle the immigration logistics, so we can get people where they need to be, when they need to be there.

 

Global reach

Our firm has over 60 offices worldwide and offers support in more than 170 countries. We can utilize this strong global network to help clients plan moves or business trips for their employees. We know that the space industry often has a highly mobile workforce with hubs in different countries. We can help to determine the best location for people depending on their immigration status. It is also important to note that our offices are strategically positioned in locations particularly relevant to the sector, including Frankfurt, Houston and the UK (including a separate Scottish practice).

 

Government relations

We help our clients measure the pulse of local government attitudes and activities and this is particularly relevant for our space sector clients. We can advise on strategies to engage government policymakers including helping our clients have a better say on what immigration policies should be in place to advance their interests and that of the space sector as a whole.

 

Consular support

We work with our consular practice team around the world to support our space sector clients, who may require expedited visa appointments or advice about applications at consular posts abroad. We can liaise directly with consulates to place expedited requests.

 

Unparalleled knowledge

Thanks to our wide reach and representation of space sector clients, we are able to benchmark industry trends with colleagues around the world. Our firm also monitors changes to immigration regulations and legislation, so we can keep our clients updated on the latest developments.

 

Innovative technology

With our worldwide immigration case management portal, our space sector clients will always have 24/7 access to key information and analytics.
