  • The legal minefield of employing foreign workers

    Immigration has always been a topic that has generated a great deal of interest and debate due to the impact it has on the populace and on the economy as a whole. Recent examples of these have been the French-owned Lindsey Oil Refinery dispute that was settled when Total agreed to hire more local employees, and Ghurkhas who retired before 1997 are now being allowed to settle in the UK.
