We are delighted to invite you to our webinar on Tuesday 24 March, where our business immigration experts will discuss how the latest changes will affect employers and their workforces.

We are delighted to invite you to our webinar on Tuesday 24 March, where our business immigration experts will discuss how the latest changes will affect employers and their workforces.

Following the tightening of sponsorship rules in July 2025, further significant changes are coming in 2026, including new settlement rules which increase the permanent residency qualifying period for many workers and their families.

Aimed at HR and legal teams, global mobility experts, and recruitment professionals, Charlie Pring and Vikki Wiberg will cover:

  • Proposed new settlement rules – the most fundamental reforms in this area for 50 years. These changes primarily affect individuals, but employers must plan for the impact on recruitment and retention policies and budgets
  • Expanded illegal working penalties – now extending to contractors and other non-employees
  • Sponsorship compliance trends – navigating an environment where immigration enforcement is a Home Office priority
  • Other key changes – affecting your ability to hire and retain talent

Register your interest and join us for an excellent opportunity to stay informed and prepared.
