George Shirley (Director of Visas and Citizenship at the Home Office) and Daniel Petriello (Strategy, Engagement and Design Team for the Future Border and Immigration system) together with Sophie Barrett-Brown and Natasha Chell discussed the new system.

Matthew Wills (Senior Solicitor) provided an update on Brexit, and Christi Jackson (Partner and Head of the US Practice) closed by providing a US immigration update following Joe Biden’s election victory.
