Anastasia Tonello speaks to Bloomberg about the Deportation Referral Policy

10 July 2018

Managing Partner and head of the US Practice Anastasia Tonello spoke with Bloomberg regarding the new Deportation Referral Policy.

Anastasia suggests the move could discourage businesses from sponsoring employees in the US, incentivising the businesses to re-locate overseas.
