(Rising stars)Led on a day-to-day level by senior associate Alex Christen , as well as leveraging its broader overarching employment offering which is headed by Richard Thomas , Capital Law Limited provides a ‘hardworking and responsive’ service across a range of business immigration matters. Post-Brexit the team has been particularly active helping employers (including in the hospitality, finance and social housing sectors) obtain sponsor licences, thereby enabling them, under the right circumstances, to recruit from outside the UK.
