"If you are a business looking to employ EU and non-EU nationals from outside the UK, you will need to apply for a sponsor licence. In order to be granted a sponsor licence you have to meet a number of requirements including being able to demonstrate that you are a genuine business operating lawfully in the UK and that you are able to carry out your sponsor duties and evidence your compliance.
At OTB Legal we have specialist lawyers who specialise in this complex area, and are committed to getting successful outcomes for applications. Our team also offer compliance audits, to ensure your company is prepared and fully compliant with your UK Visas and Immigration duties.
Why not talk to us about your Sponsor Licence? "

UK Visas and Immigration Sponsor Licences transfer responsibility for selecting and employing migrants to the sponsor licence holder. As a sponsor, employers have a duty to ensure that procedures are in place to ensure compliance with the Sponsor Licence duties.
UK Visas and Immigration place significant weight on the importance of trust in the operation of the sponsorship system. As such they have measures in place to ensure that licence holders are complying with their duties, and issue penalties for sponsors who do not comply. Penalties can be enforced for a range of breaches with varying degrees of consequences; from your licence being suspended, revoked or downgraded, or a limit placed on the number of Certificates of Sponsorship you can assign. Suspension from the Sponsor Management System, a downgrade or revocation may have serious implications for your business.
We can audit your HR systems and provide advice on complying with your obligations. Our service includes:

This pack provides your company with all the information you need to successfully maintain your Sponsor Licence and details the obligations you have as a Sponsor Licence holder.
This is a bespoke package designed for managers, key personnel and HR managers.
I worked closely with OTB Legal who were helping a multi-national company carry out a sponsor licence compliance audit. I was very impressed with their comprehensive understanding of Home Office systems and procedures. More importantly, they were very easy to work with and struck an excellent balance between the constraints of the rules and pragmatism.
